If you look up "speed of light" in the dictionary, you should find a picture of Billy Hamilton.

The 25-year-old Cincinnati Reds outfielder made one of the best catches of the year Tuesday, reaching insane speeds - 22 mph to be exact - to rob Texas Rangers DH Carlos Beltran of extra bases.

If that wasn't impressive enough, Hamilton ran a route efficiency of 97.2 percent and covered a ridiculous 123 feet, according to Daren Willman of MLB.com.
