Hamilton embarrasses Segura with swim slide

MLB.com

You don't become one of baseball's most prolific base-stealers without keeping a trick or two up your sleeve.

For Billy Hamilton, the Cincinnati Reds' kleptomaniac center fielder, one such trick is the devilishly fiendish slide he embarrassed Jean Segura with Friday night at Great American Ball Park, where the speedster "swam" past Segura to swipe second base in the bottom of the first inning.

Hamilton, who then stole another two bases in Friday's series opener, now has 30 on the season, bringing him within four of MLB leader Jonathan Villar.
