Major League Baseball's reigning stolen base champ is spending the offseason blazing the basepaths in his native Dominican Republic.

During the sixth inning of Tuesday's game, Aguilas second baseman Jonathan Villar stole home off Licey reliever Marlon Arias to score his team's first run of the night.

Villar swiped a career-high 62 bases with the Milwaukee Brewers last season on 80 attempts.

This isn't the first time Villar has stolen home.

He managed to stun the Baltimore Orioles during his rookie season in 2013, sneaking in to score easily off left-hander Wei-Yin Chen.
