[@timmurray7798]

This guy litterally helps get every run it seems for the Reds! He is incredible

[@negromedina6689]

No hay dudas que ese muchacho es una carrera segura

[@drulamane]

@@negromedina6689sure bud

[@stevesmithjr.1846]

He is great for baseball. The smile, the gold chains, his whole attitude. Very entertaining.

[@negromedina6689]

Es un pelotero con estilo

[@Videogamelover58]

Agreed. I was worried that he would fall off like that aquino guy the Reds had 5 years ago.

[@nomar2004]

fans love to see this kind of play return. the MLB wants it too by changing the rules. but those guys who study the numbers say he is not that good. WAR is below average. and SB are useless.... 😂

[@pinchadeamerica]

@@nomar2004 Those sabermetrics nerds adored Fernando Tatis Jr. He was the salvation of the sport apparently. Look how that turned out. An absolutely pedestrian player. I prefer the eye test.

[@johndakin991]

And he hustles

[@chrisramirez7397]

Him being so long and having so much stride in his run makes it unstoppable

[@donniefaust2763]

Hes just absolutely phenomenal.

[@corsario5944]

No way he was out!! They robbed him of a historic night! He clearly stole his 5th base!! Ain't no way they tag him before he touches the base.

[@julioramos5460]

indeed

[@cryptocpa1194]

Thought the same thing. His hand was into the base before the tag was placed.

[@RedBucket85]

Exactly, we can see it on the replay. Bad call!

[@6foot7natiboy]

They should've challenged it. He looks out at full speed, but in slow mo you can tell he gets under the tag

[@okatashiyoniku]

Actually, I failed the fifth time. But when you watch him, it seems like he's going to be successful every single time.

[@CIoudStrife]

Let's get 100 steals

[@glace5620]

I honestly think he can get even more than 100

[@jimmysanchez809]

This kid is what baseball needs….. even if you hate the reds is such a rush watching him play, la cocoa 💪🏼god keep him healthy so we can enjoy baseball 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@michaelsiengo1]

What I like about him is when he starts his uniform is beautiful and when he’s done it’s filthy because he puts in work unlike 99% of them could just hang their uniform back up to play next time

[@HersonOrtiz-dl3of]

He is going make history 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴♥️♥️🇩🇴you will see🇩🇴❤️❤️

[@marklnz]

This kid is incredible and even as a Dodgers fan I didn't hate seeing this. Gotta say though, props to Austin Barnes for catching him stealing second one time yesterday...that's clearly not easy to do!

[@chrisramirez7397]

The grim reaper, literally every teams nightmare. it’s only a matter of time that he will be the next MVP and cover of MLB

[@billyxkid5062]

And I can’t wait!

[@elPelotero1717]

The cover will be him sliding into second. Mark my words.

[@wilburwood8261]

yeah he gonna have to wait 5 more years to dethrone Ohtani

[@KanetsuguNaoe1112]

The only thing Elly does better than Ohtani is steal bases. If he can't beat Ohtani as a hitter, how will he win when he becomes a pitcher again?😂

[@jakenbake9878]

When Elly hits 30+ home runs and has 100 stolen bases it’s gonna be hard to not give him MVP

[@ihsukagotl9936]

Elly still wearing the medallion with the photo of his parents melts my heart

[@amandachavez3357]

Elly es un chico increíble es MVP

[@MyLittleHecarim]

Unstoppable, my guy

[@InsaneStryker777]

He’s the most freakish athlete to come along in baseball in a long time.

[@KanetsuguNaoe1112]

He was never once called a unicorn.😅

[@TwimsFan]

@@KanetsuguNaoe1112 With respect to everything Ohtani has done and can do, as far as pure athleticism the edge goes to Cruz.

[@amirtz3342]

Reminds me of Vlad Guerrero but people didn’t get the highlights when he was in the Expos. I never seen a man throw as far a baseball in my life than Vladimir Guerrero

[@KingMaciass1]

Since Trout was last healthy

[@pekine_rd2760]

Elly es uno de los más completo roba batea buena defensa de todo en un solo jugador

[@TaylorG712]

Completo no, el todavía no tiene “toma de decisiones” se poncha mucho. El está mejorando rápido pero si sigue así, jugador completo en poco tiempo

[@glace5620]

Agreed,a complete baseball player, exceptionally talented in a lot of areas

[@PanagiotisAraujo11]

They call him,one of the best prospects of the last 20 years,for a reason.

[@KansasHempMan]

Even though he's not

[@trippyson8902]

No you're "not" 💀

mangu power desde PR viendo a nuestro hermano de RD romper la mlb 💥🔥

Gracias, un abrazo para PR tambien ❤

He has reignited my love of baseball!

[@ivarcifre5476]

This guy is the Ronaldinho of Baseball: always smiling and enjoying the game like he's 10 yo while destroying everyone.

[@bryanpiper2293]

He was safe on the fifth one!

[@philipbates9648]

He was safe, but unfortunately the Reds had already challenged a call earlier in the game.

[@morningsidedriverock]

He’s a beast. Gonna be fun to watch him play the Bronx Bombers.

[@realreal....]

this guy is going to be a mlb star, remembered for generations

[@MrH.09]

Wait...He stole four in ONE game???

[@MyLittleHecarim]

Against the dodgers 😏

[@dannymoisesflores4748]

Yes

[@noahkalus8231]

Yeah this actually does happen from time to time I think Jose Caballero did it like a week or two ago. But elly had 4 by the 5th inning of this game and then got on base again it’s too bad he couldn’t get #5

[@AntiPlatitude]

On pace for roughly 110 SB. Would be so cool to see someone get to that century mark again.

[@phazongroove]

i want a De La Cruz jersey. Dude is nice and may get 100 steals this season.

[@LuigiDesde1907]

MVP

[@javiernunez4456]

Solo desearle vida y mucha salud para seguir viendo jugar este joven tan electrizante

[@jlruiz7634]

He had me worried for the rest of the weekend series but 0 for 13 with 8 K’s was helpful for a dodgers series win

[@markjones2518]

He’s on pace to have 110 steals 😱

[@EE-bg1de]

It's May 17th, Hes on pace for over 120. With Today's Rules, he's turned into Rickey Henderson.

[@ednelson2501]

Elle has 30 sb in 44 Reds games. That is 0.6818181818 per game. Not EDLC games but C Reds games. Cincinnati plays 162 games. 162 x 0.6818181818 = 110.45454545 so he on pace for ~110.

[@mensrea1251]

100 steals but under the new rules where it’s difficult for pitchers to hold them on base. These numbers mean little.

[@ChaseJonas75]

@@mensrea1251then why don’t even more players do it?

[@mensrea1251]

@@ChaseJonas75 They are. Steal attempts are up 40% and success rates are the highest in the history of the game. The rules were changed to increase base stealing and the results show that that is exactly what is happening. What part of this is difficult for you to understand.

[@ifedero3762]

What a beauty

[@Chris951021]

I'm new to baseball, so everytime the Reds had another score, I was confused. It was this guy all along. Well played.

[@adianezmangual7448]

Future mvp

[@johncuff4439]

My new favorite player

[@ericsmith8369]

Every walk and hit is potential double and triple, reminds me of Rickey Henderson

[@alexsandersoares7704]

Aqui no Brasil temos um jogador de futebol no time do Flamengo chamado De la Cruz e ele é um bom esportista

[@donniefaust2763]

He doesn't even get the best starts when he steals. But after the first couple of steps its as if he just skips 2nd gear and is in 3rd gear. He is absolutely phenomenal. Its only the middle of May! He has 4.5 months or close to 3/4 of a season to steal PLENTY more! At this rate he could steal 100 bases. I dont think anyone will ever break the 138 stolen bases in a season. But if Elly can stay healthy, i could see him with many rrally high numbers of stolen bases like Ricky Henderson.

[@Matthew6418]

I just slowed down the time he got thrown out to .5 speed. He was safe the Reds should have challenged.

[@jchase5468]

As a reds fan I know he will be in pinstripes soon enough that or running the bags at Fenway or it in LA

[@michaelweston2285]

haven't seen speed like his since Willie Mays Hayes!

[@Nemiassoul]

Based on a 1st to 2nd base steal; He takes great leads of about 13/14 feet, waits until the pitcher is in motion, gets a great jump then runs over 30 feet per second. That leaves 76 feet of travel to steal second base so he needs about 2.15 seconds to steal from first to second. It's next to impossible for the pitcher to complete his start to finish routine/throw, the ball to make it to the catcher, and the catcher to make a trow to second base in that time. His pure presence on base is intimidating to pitchers, catchers and the rest of the infield causing stress, anxiety and leading towards more errors and inaccuracies. I know they are trying, but dammmmnnn, that's not going to be easy to stop. Watch base stealing videos, this guy is in a league of his own. Not only that, he's a shortstop, that plays 2nd base, 3rd base, and center field that throws cannons between 95 and 98 mph making infield plays that nullify typical 1st base hits over and over again. It's hard not to get excited watching this guy, and lets not forget he was -->

[@William-532]

Move over Ohtani. I think MLB just found their next golden boy.

[@user-ig5il1be5e]

E-FLY DE LA Cruz is Flash awesome

[@markk2745]

This kind of massive disruption speedsters cause to pitchers is why Rickey Henderson should be considered a top 10 all time player (Maybe top 5) because there are stats that are not really tracked that these base stealers cause pitchers and defense with by getting runs from wild pitches, error throws, balls thrown, wild pitches and on and on.

[@leechrec]

Love it.

[@mensrea1251]

The number of steals by RAJ is more than doubled his own previous personal best. It’s almost like the rules were changed somehow to make it easier to steal…

The rate he's going, he could get close to 80 stolen bases by the end of the season. If he pushes himself toward the last two months, maybe 100.

[@samxyx]

Notice how every stolen base directly led to a run too. If he doesn't steal I'm not sure he scores on all of those hits.
