Elly De La Cruz is so ridiculously fun to watch play baseball because he can truly do it all. He can mash jaw-dropping home runs. He can make cool plays in the field. And he can steal bases like nobody else.
Just when you're thinking you've seen it all from the 22-year-old shortstop, he goes out and does something even more mind-boggling. If you need more proof of that look at what he did Wednesday night against the Astros—he had two hits, two RBI, scored two runs, and stole a base. That doesn't sound all that wild until you realize one thing—he did that all in the first inning.
For real:
That's just incredible.
