Minnesota Twins second baseman Brian Dozier pulled off a rare feat Sunday against the Chicago White Sox by hitting an inside-the-park home run.
The score was knotted up at 0-0 in the bottom half of the fifth inning before Dozier went around the bases in one fell swoop, despite the ball never leaving the park.

And did we mention he was flying?
Brian Dozier went home-to-home in 15.41 seconds. It's the 10th fastest inside-the-park in the Statcast Era dating back to 2015.

Interestingly, the last time an MLB player hit an inside-the-park homer was last October when Dozier’s Twins teammate Byron Buxton pulled off the trick.
