Hamilton lays out to make spectacular catch

May 16th, 2018

SAN FRANCISCO -- Even Giants fans could appreciate Reds center fielder Billy Hamilton taking a hit away from one of their players on Tuesday night.
Leading off the bottom of the eighth against Reds reliever David Hernandez, Evan Longoria hit a drive toward the gap in right-center field, and Hamilton laid out for a spectacular diving catch.
According to Statcast™, the play was rated as a five-star catch because it had a catch probability of only 16 percent. Hamilton covered 58 feet of ground in 3.6 seconds.

The crowd of 37,609 fans at AT&T Park applauded Hamilton for his grab as he showed the ball in his glove while lying on the grass.
It was Hamilton's second five-star catch of the season. He also had one on May 7 against the Mets at Great American Ball Park.
