The Cleveland Indians signed outfielder Billy Hamilton to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

The deal is reportedly pending a physical.

Hamilton is no doubt one of the fastest players in all of baseball, but he can barely get on base.

The 30-year-old was awful at the plate last year, slashing .125/.171/.219 in 32 at bats.

Cleveland could use Hamilton in pinch running situations and in the outfield if they decide to put him in the lineup.
