The Cincinnati Reds may have disappointed in the first half of the season, but superstar Elly De La Cruz certainly did not, as he joined some incredible baseball history with his performance.
At 47-50 overall, the Cincinnati Reds may have disappointed in the first half of the season, but superstar Elly De La Cruz did not.
Based upon his debut season in 2023, we knew that De La Cruz was uber athletic and possessed great raw skills, but this year has seen him harness that talent more fully. In fact, with his great season thus far, De La Cruz has put himself in some very impressive company in baseball history.De La Cruz is hitting .256 this season with 17 homers and 43 RBI. He's also got 46 stolen bases, which is the most of any player in baseball right now. With an .830 OPS and a 128 OPS+, he's been one of the more productive players in the sport.
The scary part is that the 22-year-old still has room to grow. He's just been named to his first All-Star team but can find ways to cut down on his strikeouts and improved his on-base percentage .Follow Fastball on FanNation on social mediaBrady Farkas is a baseball writer for Fastball on Sports Illustrated/FanNation and the host of 'The Payoff Pitch' podcast which can be found on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
