Elly De La Cruz! Elly De La Cruz!
I’m not exactly sure what else I can say about him at this juncture, other than he simply mashes the living hell out of baseballs and is about to get paid very, very well to do so at the highest level in the world for a long, long time. Hopefully, that’s by the Cincinnati Reds, but you just never know with those bozos.
To the games...!
Screw the pattern, we’re starting with High-A in this one. They’re the best team in the Cincinnati Reds entire organization, they’re perhaps the most talented team in the minors, and leading their charge is one Elly “Three Feet High and Rising” De La Cruz, who just had a ho-hum 3 for 4 game that featured a homer, a walk, 2 ribbies, and 2 runs scored.
