A home run is one of the most exciting feats in baseball, but that pales in comparison to an inside-the-park homer. If you tuned into Tuesday night's Cincinnati Reds-Los Angeles Angels game, you received quite the treat, courtesy of Tommy La Stella

La Stella sent a Tyler Mahle pitch to deep center field, where Nick Senzel leaped for the attempted catch. However, the ball would ricochet off the top of the wall and into right field. La Stella put on the jets and sped his way home for the solo inside-the-park homer.

Many will point to the weird bounce in center field, but it was La Stella's acceleration around the base path that gave the Angels the early 1-0 lead.
