- After Elly De La Cruz made his MLB debut in 2023, he quickly became one of the most exciting rookies in baseball, and it's easy to understand why. With his combination of speed, power, height, and energy, De La Cruz has a promising future. However, the journey to his debut was not always easy, and he is already facing struggles despite his hot start.
This is the story of Elly De La Cruz.

Confidence is such a big part of a rookies career moving forward. He started out on fire so in his mind he now knows he can do it at this level and can even get better. Lots of fun watching this kid from an old Mets fan here…
La Cocoa is one of the most determined young men in the MLB. A true team player. Bumps in the road will never deter him...Poised for greatness for many years to come!!!
It blows my mind we just got O'Neil Cruz and people were talking about how he's a freak athlete as a 6'7" shortstop then the next season we get Elly Del La Cruz another young Dominican shortstop at 6'5"
I went to a ballgame on the west coast the guy has crazy energy and speed!!!!! Tall and Athletic.
It's not just Elly, that whole Reds team has a lot of rookies that contributed to that winning season.
You deserve so much more views man
Many*
Another banger
Everyone: watching normally
Me: replaying the CLEAN transition at 7:53 5 times
this man is more than aawesome
This channel is underrated
On gawd
Well done
You should do a video analysing the 2006 blue jays. They were a good team but barley missed the playoffs. They just needed better starting pitching depth
That guy is the best thing to happen to baseball in a very long time I mean I’m watching baseball now and haven’t watched since Darryl strawberry
I saw Elly when he played for my hometown Dayton Dragons MILB team.
Good channel. 🥰🇵🇷🇩🇴
From what I can tell he’s doing better in 2024. Correct me if I’m wrong
When i played with Elly in the AZL and low A we all knew our kids one day would want an Elly de la Cruz jersey. We were also like, who tf is this kid, and why haven't we heard about him. He was electric.
You played with him befor
WOW
Can’t wait for strike zone perfection.
Seems to me he's a Tall Stop. Fantastic talent.
Hey his debut is on my birthday
A guy like this can change a franchise. Tatis was the same way for us. Very excited about the Reds
Reds will eventually trade him away for peanuts because our team's owner is cheap as fuck.
@@jblz86 damn 💀💀
Dude hit .235, and struck out more frequently than any other player in the major leagues. His on base percentage was terrible, as well.
@@dennissvitak5475He's also young and has a ton of potential, which is what I was referring to
But he’s a 11% below average hitter with a 89 ops+
And a 37% k percentage
yeah it took me a while to make this video and he kinda fell off since I started haha, but I still wanted to tell his story, plus there’s no denying that his accomplishments during his first few weeks were crazy
Don't forget the .235 average, .300 OBP, and MINUS dWar.
Its pretty crazy to think hes done all of this, and hes only 21
Definitely needs more work hitting and getting on base wise but he has time.
We should call him special speeder
Hanga ako dyan kay Elly Ang lakas pumalo ang lakas bumato ang tulin tumakbo napaka listo pag nalingat ka naka takbo agad homebase 😂🤣💪👍
How come at 7:50 he swung righty
If I somehow forgot to mention it in the video, he’s a switch hitter 😂
7:53 do y’all notice that
Thank GOD I'm not going insane
hes just built diffrent
How does dude not even at 60-40 yet?
I wonder how hard he pitches
Him and Oniel Cruz are gonna be scary in the future
oniels career will never be the same
They not brothers tho
I had 13443
sorry to say, but the fastest throw in baseball history from an infielder that I know of is Mason win at 100.6
The thing said electric…..hmmm his electric went out so I guess he didn’t pay the bill
needs to spend more time in AAA, way too many defensive mistakes and chases too many bad pitches
Agreed, he has the potential to be incredible in the future. Unfortunately the media is hyping him up way too much for how good he actually is right now, and I hope it doesn’t go to his head.
I'm afraid all the ESPN hype has gone to his head. He acts as if he's above the team fray instead of just being one of 25 team dedicated players. He's immature even for a 21 year old with his hideous, unprofessional long hair and does belong back in AAA for more Instructional development. He has tremendous potential, but I feel he cost the Reds in 2023 more games than what he contributed thus far. Bell deserves much of the credit, letting him get away with his antics. His on field decision making, 37%+ strikeout rate, 235 batting avg and amount of defensive errors all speak for themselves.
He is an average rookie,at the moment ,but ,probably with the experience he is going to be be great,as soon as he start to hit the ball he will be awesome.
@@Ramjet-lt1xche’s immature with his hideous unprofessional long hair? Get a life he’s a young man freely expressing himself playing a game he love. What’s truly hideous is your closed minded idiotic mindset and opinions
Corbin carrol has wah better #s.... do you watch baseball?
He isn’t the fastest mlb player it’s Corbin Carroll
Wrong elly is barely faster
@@rylanknightsedits it’s proven that he is faster
wtf was his trainer???
For real. To go from 6’0 to 6’5 just like that is insane.
I was gonna say this aged well, but you made this after the season? Bro he hit .235 13 hrs. He's so far from "taking over baseball" that's its weird you'd make a video on it lol. Wake up brotha avg baseball videos never make sense lol
Hmmm he’s not as good as people said he would be so far
How about now at 21 and a month ..... minus Acunua tell show me someone that age doing these things ..... ill wait
So bro grew 5 inches in a year......as an adult??? Why juice up the story man 3:10
Late bloomer
Bro Usain Bolt is the fastest man in the world
HATER😮
Dude c"mon what is this music right after you said Dominican Republic atleast do some research instead of just searching up “spanish” music
lol
He needs a random drug test done.
The dude hit .235 for the year, with an on base percentage of .300. Both are terrible. His OPS for the year was .710, which was ten percent BELOW league average. His strikeout rate was 37.1%, the highest of any player in the major leagues. His Defensive Wins Above Replacement, or dWar, was MINUS 0.1...essentially, a below average defender. Phenom? HELL NO.
Fair, but you cant say he didn’t single handedly ignite the Reds season that was looking like a complete L… UNTIL they brought him on and they turned into one of the hottest teams instantly… Homers first couple games, hits for cycle, etc etc… You cant put a number on what some of those things did for the team…
@@shotbycamron - I can put numbers on everything a player does. Just because he has a rocket arm (and is STILL a below average fielder) doesn't make him all that.
@@shotbycamron - All hype. All bad teams do it. Try to generate a few ticket sales, and HOPE the player plays well.
21 btw
But I like to believe that Elly, one way or another, maybe even take some time since he just got called up, will develop into the phenom we slated him to be because he ignited a fire in that Reds organization and fandom that I can even get behind from across the country.
He’s a bust
This guy hasnt taken over baseball, hes just mediocre.
Until he and the Reds go to the World Series and win it, I won’t believe it. I won’t believe in the hype. I don’t doubt De La Cruz was really exciting to watch in 2023, but I don’t trust him. I don’t trust him to take the Reds to the World Series anytime soon. In fact, I suspect the Reds’ owners will trade him to another team.
His young age aside, is there any MLB player that acts as immature emotionally as Elly? Nope, not even close. If he acted professional and cleaned up his act both in physical appearance & and post game behavior, he would have twice the fans as he does now. Instead, he acts and looks as if he has never escaped the welfare projects & HOOD. He needs direction from a mentor like Barry Larkin in the worst way. Oh well!
He’s just another Billy Hamilton. He’ll be gone in two years.
he is not that good
Ur a HATER
Wdym😊
