Elly De La Cruz News
Cincinnati Reds third baseman/shortstop Elly De La Cruz had a huge game at the plate in Tuesday's 11-7 win over the Guardians. The 21-year-old rookie went 3-for-3 with a single, a solo home run, a two-run HR, four RBI, and a strikeout. De La Cruz had a ton of fantasy hype surrounding him when he joined the Reds, and while he has shown flashes of brilliance with 13 HR, 40 RBI, and 33 stolen bases in 409 plate appearances, his .234/.299/.409 slash line leaves a lot to be desired. Either way, he is an electric player to watch and has shown the raw tools to be a potential fantasy stud in the future.
Cincinnati Reds rookie infielder Elly De La Cruz is starting at shortstop and is hitting eighth in the batting order on Thursday against the Detroit Tigers and right-hander Reese Olson. De La Cruz has burst onto the major-league scene this year and helped the Reds surprisingly compete for a wild-card spot, but he's gone just 7-for-42 (.167) with no homers, one double, two RBI, 15 strikeouts, four stolen bases and five runs scored in 12 games (11 starts) so far in September. The eight-hole is the lowest spot in the batting order he's been featured since joining the Reds. The power/speed combination is extremely enticing and the long-term future is bright for De La Cruz, but he's struggling right now. Overall, he's hitting .235/.298/.408 with 11 homers, 36 RBI, 27 steals and 59 runs scored in 341 at-bats.
Cincinnati Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz had a poor game on Sunday against the Cubs, going 0-for-5 and striking out four times. He was the only player in the starting lineup for Cincinnati who did not record a hit. In his first season in the big leagues, De La Cruz has struck out 122 times, but the infielder is a talented player with great potential. He has stolen 24 bases while slashing .241/.294./.429. The 21-year-old rookie has also hit 11 home runs and driven in 35 runs.
