Elly De la Cruz: The most ELECTRIC player...Ever? | A Baseball Numbers Story
Elly De La Cruz had an April that hadn't been done in the Modern Era...
He might be the most electric player in baseball today...
So why was I worried he was getting overhyped after the 2023 season?
The numbers!
In this video we take a look back at Elly De La Cruz's analytically poor 2023, while comparing it to his historic start to 2024 using stats from Baseball Reference, Fangraphs, and Baseball Savant! All just so I can eat crow... Because after looking at how he's improved and in which areas specifically he has improved? And once we consider what he might actually put up number wise?? Elly De La Cruz has proven me wrong...
The hype is ABSOLUTELY deserved! He might not be just the most electric in baseball today, but he might be the most electric player in Baseball History! Do you agree...?
Is Elly the most electric player we have ever seen? Do you think Elly can achieve 40/90? Let me know in the comments!
Thanks for watching! I appreciate you all!

Why the Orioles & Adley Rutschman's Success is so IMPORTANT | A Baseball Story
...cursed because they have a clueless owner. PERIOD.
We’re not shitty anymore!! 😂
you know what a basball curse makes a lot of sense.
As a Reds fan I watch every Reds game. Elly makes incredible plays at SS that don't even show up on a stat sheet. He has caught multiple balls halfway out in left with his elite speed.
He makes mistakes and errors but he is very fun to watch. He seems like a nice guy also heard he is trying hard to learn English so more fans can see his personality, gotta respect that.
The courage to speak a language you barely know on live tv is crazy! Acuña too. Respect 1000%. 🙌
He already speaks English and has done some interviews speaking English. Pretty impressive kid.
Actually it was Mitch Williams that everybody always compared to the Wild Thing character. I never heard of Hampton being called that.
A few folks have said this now. And I agree Haha. This was more so just a fun excuse to talk through Mike Hampton’s career as opposed to a literal comparison. ✌🏻 He did some “wild” things on the field. 😎
@@GoodVibesBaseball I hear ya. It was still a really good video. Thank God for baseball!
That, my friends, is how you do a god damned thumbnail!
3:39 it should be "3 FEWER steals" not "3 less steals" And then right after you say "Elly had way Less ABs" should be "fewer ABs" You seem smart, otherwise i wouldnt bother pointing these mistakes out. And tons of people do the same thing you did. But maybe since youre a baseball fan youll appreciate the language rules once you hear them. If the thing is "countable" then we use "fewer" So its "fewer hamburgers" and "less food" Same with "amount" and "number" I constantly hear people say amount when they should say number Less is to amount as fewer is to number Alright thanks and awesome vid, we love Elly here in Cincinnati. His debut in 2023 when the Reds went on a big win streak and Elly hit for the Cycle was the most excited peoppe had been for over a decade for sure
Good looking out! 😎
He needs to bat left handed only. His average and slugging are lower as a righty Also, I am tired of watching him get picked off. Arizona had a set play ready for him yesterday and he bit like a total fish.
I remember they often said this about Chipper Jones too.
I was actually screaming it from the mountain tops even earlier this year. But he has started to show some good signs as a righty, I’m not going to doubt him for now. 😂 Chipper is a great example! 🙌
As a Phillie fan, that Dominic Briwn reference was so evil.. 😂 but you just earned another subscriber. Great work. 🫡
Lets not forget.... There was a UFO scare in Las Vegas right before Elly showed up in the MLB. Hmmmmmm????
He's on pace for 200+ strikeouts 💀💀💀. Pitchers will figure him out very quickly, just like last season 🤷🏻♂️
Still don’t think he’s that good
He doesn't have to be. Isn't this his second season? What other second year players have this kind of talent st the Major League level, WITH expectations?
@@ifheavenwashumanliterally idk why people giving him a hard time huge career ahead of him and he’s already killing it
Keep watching!!!!
Subbed for great video and brooklyn 99 references.
This video needed to be made As a fellow and former Elly hater
uffda? where in Minny do you hail from? Edina Cake Eater here
Ah yes, Edina! Haha ya got me! South Dakota, so close enough. 😎 Haven’t been back in years. Guess it just never left my vocabulary! 😂
@@GoodVibesBaseballWhere in South Dakota??
Rapid City. ✌🏻
If Elly can figure out hitting as a righty at the MLB level (ironically he was better from the right side in the minors), nobody will be able to stop him. Wish Boston could have a guy like that on the roster.
I actually had a blurb in there about his struggles against lefties initially. Then went to make the graphic and saw that he raised his numbers just in that few days… 😂 I ended up cutting it, but I agree with ya. There was a time where I thought he should just hit lefty against lefties…
Me a Boston fan, just hoping they call Dalbec back up and praying we extend O'neal (we won't)
Dalbec is so fascinating. Do they just need to give him consistent at bats for it to click at the big league level? 🤔
@@GoodVibesBaseball couldn't tell ya to keep it a buck I didn't really get too too into baseball until going into last season and moreso gave up following the Sox when they were on the down, hired Heim to trade mookie and fumble Bogarts but I knew he bolstered the homegrown talent and I think he's one of em?
Ah nice! Well I’m glad ya found the game and the channel! Hope the Sox do well for ya! ✌🏻
I've lived and died with this team since 1973. I sat there and watched Nolan mow them down, Frank Robinson hit the last few of his fading career out, Frank Tanana run his mouth and make a fool of himself, Bostock, Adenhart, so many washed up vets trying to get a few more bucks out of MLB. The Scioscia years culminating with the W.S......On and on... Are we cursed? Who knows?
Trout is getting old. And he’s always injured
Loving this channel man. Keep up the work.
His arm could use some work but his glove is amazing
No that was Mitch Williams
Everyone knows it's Mitch Williams
What year did this movie come out ❤ so I’m guessing not Maybe Nolan Ryan 🎉
I thought Carlos Zambrano had a season where he hit 7 homers.
6 in 2006. He also could rake!
I’m shocked that Hampton never sparked a debate over making him a two way, the game would be so different today if that experiment happened
Kinda crazy to think about! I’m sure there are a lot of guys that could have tried it, but it was never even considered… Makes ya appreciate the openness to it now I suppose! 😎
Daaaamn I was just thinking about Mike yesterday. I created this lefty pitcher on The Show and she wears 32 on my Braves. He's the last person I remember wearing it with ATL. I remember him always being injured as a kid lol. But during the rare times he was available, he was money. That one year he had with the Astros was craaazy.
Edgar Martinez is universally credited with saving baseball for Seattle.
One of the strangest declines ever. Will not be a HOFer
It really is 😅😅😅😅
Can't remember all the details now, but I remember a lot of talk within baseball circles re: his advanced numbers being worrisome. Believe that was one of the main factors in Cubs not wanting to commit to and eventually trading him. It also affected both his trade value and number of teams willing to give him a long-term deal. Loved the guy but glad we didn't sign him long-term. The decisions to not keep those guys (Bryant, Rizzo, Baez [almost happened], Contreras), as frustrating as they were, have proven to be correct.
@@eliaspera7047 Leaving the Cubs was a dumb decision because he was part of the reason the World Series got so much attention as if he was a mascot that just worked.....Now it's like Bryant is Cubs player playing for someone else......
@@MakeMeCare89 he definitely wanted to go west, but the front office (for the reasons listed above) were never going to give him and Boras the years they were looking for. And they were right not to.
Pedro Martinez was robbed of the MVP not once but several times. He was also brutally robbed of the Cy Young award the year that Barry Zito won it.
Tbf Pedro could've won the year Zito won as well
I got Nomar but it’s very close
If his defense was up to par he might have had a real shot at the Hall of Fame.
Great content but way too much redundancy for me. This video could’ve been done well in half the time.
Aren’t we always witnessing history?
I f’n loved these 3 when I was in high school, I was such a huge A’s fans. They had such awesome players on the team. They even had a makeshift version of the big 3 in the late 2000’s with Dan Haren, Justin Doucherer, and Rich Harden. It sucks 2 out of 3 had injuries a plenty and Haren sadly was only on the team 4 years. I miss our amazing overlooked players like Sean Doolittle, Grant Balfour (he may not count), Sonny Gray, Ryan Sweeney, and Craig Breslow among many others. They don’t even sign the aging legend in their last year for one last hurrah…Frank Thomas, Mike Piazza, Nomar…I don’t know it’s really upsetting we went from really really good put together teams in the 2010’s until 2019 and the nail in the coffin a few years ago with Sean Murphy.
Didn’t even mention they didn’t want to move to Anaheim, the Dodgers owner threw a fit and wouldn’t let another be built, because he technically owned the Angel name because he bought the PCL LA Angels and moved them to Salt Lake City so the Dodgers would be the only team in Los Angeles, they didn’t have a choice.
Hayes be real. Lifetime Pirate fan born in Pittsburgh. Played semi-pro until I was 27 yo. Dude rox: hits, runs the bases and his head is always on straight. Total gamer. : ::
the into alone makes me believe you can go somewhere doing this never give in praise god and love your job good things are too come 🫱🏻🫲🏽
mike schmidt was beast at 3rd.
Yes he was! I feel like if we had the same numbers for him, and others, this story might be very different… But we work with what we’ve got. ✌🏻😎
Please keep doing what you’re doing! I hope your channel blows up - you’re just as good as the top baseball CZcamsrs, and your style is unique and refreshing.
My favorite KB memory was how much he got under Thom Brennaman's skin whenever he was dominating those Reds AAAA pitchers
As a Cubs fan we never forget anyone from the 2016 World Series team ever
what about addison russel-
Rooting for Kris Bryant this year! He will always be a cubs fan favorite! Gonna go catch a Rockies and cubs game next week so will be nice to see him get a standing ovation at wrigley!
I’m jealous! Wrigley in general is a gem, but and getting to see the Rox? Beautiful!
@@GoodVibesBaseball im a cubs and Rockies fan! Cubs cause where I live and Rockies cause of the team I played for as a kid! Gonna be going in my Ryan McMahon City connect jersey and try to snag some autographs or balls before the game!
is bryant the only person to win all 4 awards or has someone else matched that feat?
I believe he is still the only one! ✌🏻
@@GoodVibesBaseball yeah, just checked, even ignoring rookie of the year, only person to win golden spikes, minor league player of the year and mvp
All aside, Ryan Howard didnt deserve that MVP. They robbed Albert three times in that decade.
@krisbryant
Loved every second of this video. Great job man. Been a KB fan ever since he was in Chicago. Go Rockies!
Yeah Pedrioa started his two year run with a ring. And remember what Josh Beckett said "I broke up with her"
Mike Schmidt, Brooks Robinson.
I really hope Bob Nutting never sees this video. He will ship him out faster then you can blink.
Since the Pirates have always been like a minor league showcase for the rest of the league, Nutbag will trade him for cash that he'll never put back into the team. I'd bet by next year.
