Finally, a player these days that doesn't sleep on anything. He's ALWAYS watching for opportunity, always. Look up the definition of hustle, Elly's pic should be there.
@@bobfeller604 nah he's peaked price wise now...shoulda bought a few months ago before he got brought up...now if u buy his value will only go down unless he goes off and hits 40 homers...this is literally the worst time to buy cause he's so expensive js
Jumped on the Reds bandwagon as soon as he debuted. This kid is absolutely insane. The speed, IQ, arm, fielding ability, power, contact are astonishing to witness. To top it all off he's having so much fun on the diamond. The MLB is going through a renaissance, I'm so excited for this second half.
And thats just the problem. Bob Castelli is the James Dolan of the MLB. He's a billionaire cheapskate notorious for underpaying his players because hes only interested in making money and not winning games. The Reds are a fantastic business investment (because of the low overhead), and they dont need to play well for Castelli to make money. That's why all the talent the Reds get eventually leave. Enjoy de la Cruz for now Cincinnati because the second he's finished with his current contract he'll be wearing Yankee pinstripes.
Being a reds fan my whole life, (only 24) I didn’t get to see all of the amazing teams of the past. But man, watching this kid play is something special. He’s been in a bit of a slump, but my goodness is he unbelievable. This whole team is young and just full of energy and excitement. Bunch of dudes who just want to play baseball. Reminds me why it’s always been my favorite sport.
dodgers fan here. cruz is amazing. i have been watching the reds recaps just to see him play hes amazing. a player baseball has been needing for a little while now.
The Reds next Joey Votto… and he’s already got a batting average that hovers around .300, generational power, an arm of a starting pitcher, and track star type speed… Votto made his debut six days before his 25th birthday. *Elly is 21.*
Him and Votto are two totally different players. And Elle is way more physically gifted. Votto on his best day vs Elly on his.. I think you'd see a significant gap. He's not the Red's next Votto, that's kinda underestimating this kid. He is the Red's FIRST Elly De La Cruz
Never been a Reds fan. From the PNW so I was always a Griffey fan. When Griffey went to Cincy, I bought a Cincy hat. Watching Elly is the closest I have ever been to following the Reds since Griffey went there. He's just exciting to watch no matter what he is doing.
I’m so glad I have a renewed interest in baseball after not really watching it most of my adult life. Thank you MLB RUclips channel. Elly De La Cruz is so fun to watch.
@@jakechecolinski5929 Can't just be happy for a new guy being successful? Imagine what he'd have to say about you and your job performance at McDonalds.
@@TubblesmugI'm a regional manager at a temp agency making $87,000 a year and my wife makes $80,000. But I have had fast food jobs in my early years... And they did critique my work.. All the time actually. I'm happy he's doing well... But he's not winning games for the team. He's not a game changer. He's a good player. I'd still take a good starting pitcher over him.
For The First Time in Forever MLB highlights are actual highlights thanks to this guy. I could actually listen to the Cincinnati Reds on the radio and be excited.
This is the player we hoped would revive baseball with those tremendous crazy plays, Elly de la cruz definitely ignites an intense flame keep watching him
I have yet to miss a Reds game since he was called up. I even watched the video of him at the airport when coach told him he was going to the show. I plan on driving up there to watch a game a buy a jersey.
Having family in Cinci I was in town at the end of June, that game on June 30 was electric to be at. This game was something of an 18th birthday and graduation present. I ended up purchasing a City Connect hat and was previously bought a jersey, really happy to have attended that game.
been following since he got called up and only knew who he was because his card was insane on diamond dynasty last year. loving his start to his career.
I was all a Braves Fan back in the 1980s and 1990s living in KY with no MLB Team. I used to also like the Reds because of Eric Davis. After He was traded I quit I following them. Now Elly has Turned Me back to watching the Reds.This Guy is Electric.
I've never been interested in baseball in all my 30-something-odd years. Now I kinda am. This kid brings an excitement and energy that breaks the boringness of the baseball I'm used to seeing. Seems like Reds games are hella lit these days, might take a trip.
Big pimpin! No wonder Pete Rose is fired up. He is some sort of demigod. I heard a genetics lab had been acquiring hair samples from various top atheletes. Unknowingly, it was rumored, One was a success, a Rickey Henderson and Griffey jr.clone was created, before the lab was closed. Could this be? I could almost question a Jordan possible presence, only, if the hair factor wasn't such an obsticle. Amazing talent!
"that ball had a family!" is a great caster call, one of my favs of the year. My other fav was this dude in the nrl saying "it's like the piece of paper in american beauty!"
No way this kid is 21. Probably 25. Not that it matters and I’m probably wrong for even assuming. I’m just flat out mind blown by how he plays. That speed is so damn fun to watch man. And he has pop! Jesus congrats Reds fans
As a Dominican, I had been a Yankees fan since the 2009 great infield but stopped watching the big leagues after Jeter/Cano left. I have watched Elly since the 2022 Dominican Winter League and the day I went to see him play the Reds decided to sit him down. I have watched every Reds game highlight after the announcement of Elly going up. Now identifying myself as a Reds fan
I've been a hardcore hockey fan since the early 2000's. I would have never thought that Baseball would be the more exciting sport a few years down the road, but here we are. Shohei, De La Cruz, Tatis, Acuna Jr, we're totally blessed and I'm missing so many greats. Pitch clock was a great move.
So glad to see the Reds playing exciting baseball. It's even better the seats are full of Reds fans!! Think, Reds win the World Series and Bengals win the SuperBowl!!!!
Man this kids is something special. Anyone who says otherwise is just hating. Speed, power, arm strength, agressive baserunning.. I mean he was the first Red to hit for a cycle since 1989!! Thats absolutely crazy to think about. Hes gunna be around for quite sometime if he stays healthy.
The way he's got everyone talking is the same way Puig was when he first showed up in the league. But BETTER. Elly is awesome and he gives his all on every hit, run, steal, everything. He's great.
“THAT BALL HAD A FAMILY” is such a sick call cause he absolutely murdered that ball.
😂😂😂 yep
You know he’s had that one cocked for a while and was just waiting for the right time to use it
:33
😂 I laughed at that too ... 😢poor ball
😂😂😂 I spit out my drink, wasn’t expecting that!
Finally, a player these days that doesn't sleep on anything. He's ALWAYS watching for opportunity, always. Look up the definition of hustle, Elly's pic should be there.
He is locked in
Right next to Kobe's !
@@willcrain6786 Going 2-28 in his last 7 is hardly locked in, Reds will finish under 500.
@@graymalkin26 he *was* locked in
@@graymalkin26nah he is locked in
That cycle call was INSANE.
''That ball has a family''
This man gave me chills, warmed me up, and froze me over again
ITS A CYYYCLLLEEEEE
2:20
Can he pitch ?
Hoping this young man will be a hall of famer someday with continued success and a long career in MLB
Stay healthy, Elly! Stay healthy!
Wow lil early to b thinking about the hall of fame...maybe at least finish this year healthy since he's already been hurt...
Get his player card now and sit on it.
@@bobfeller604 nah he's peaked price wise now...shoulda bought a few months ago before he got brought up...now if u buy his value will only go down unless he goes off and hits 40 homers...this is literally the worst time to buy cause he's so expensive js
He needs to drop the bling
Makes him look like a punk
“Oh my goodness, that ball had a family!!” Is one of my favorite calls
He has single-handedly revived the reds fan base
I'm unfortunately an A's fan but I still love watching this kid play.
@@JoeSaidWut praying for you. from a tigers fan 😔😓😭
Revived mlb fan base in general
Nah not us all just the band wagons he just a better bully Hamilton
Nah winning has revived the fan base
Jumped on the Reds bandwagon as soon as he debuted. This kid is absolutely insane. The speed, IQ, arm, fielding ability, power, contact are astonishing to witness. To top it all off he's having so much fun on the diamond. The MLB is going through a renaissance, I'm so excited for this second half.
Time to jump off Slick.
@@graymalkin26Cry
He’s going to be absolutely phenomenal as someone who’s liked the reds from 2021
He's just what the game needs. If I were a GM, I'd be breaking the bank to sign him.
And thats just the problem. Bob Castelli is the James Dolan of the MLB. He's a billionaire cheapskate notorious for underpaying his players because hes only interested in making money and not winning games.

this man plays like he's been in the league for a decade 😂 i hope he has success his entire career, hes awesome
I can't believe it, this guy does incredible things in the game... I haven't seen a mlb game in a while and I'm watching it for him.
“That ball had a family” still the best call of the season
Unbelievable player. Baseball is so much fun this year!
I can watch this all day! He is absolutely unreal!!!!!! Thank you for the show Elly!!!!
He’s taking a game that’s generally pretty tame and making it sound like a football game! One guy bringing that much excitement is awesome to see!
The game got so sterile in the moneyball era: “Steals aren’t worth it in the long run.”
Elly is like “that’s a cute theory.”
Pretty tame maybe in the US. It's not like that in Latin America, especially in the DR. The stadiums are WILD here
These highlights never get old.

Not a reds fan but this Kid is absolutely amazing. Truly watch out for him later down the road, he plays the game the right way!
I haven’t been excited about baseball for a long while. De La Cruz is electrifying! Thank you for bringing me back!
This young man is the future of baseball. I will be following his career closely.
“OH GOODNESS, THAT BALL HAD A FAMILY” 😂
dodgers fan here. cruz is amazing. i have been watching the reds recaps just to see him play hes amazing. a player baseball has been needing for a little while now.
While I agree they Elly is extremely fun to watch, it seems as if you've never hears of Ohtani
@@JoeSaidWut have watched ohtani he's a great player but not as fun to watch. Cruz is similar to the puig debut years ago
The commentator is the best hype man ever!!!!
このホームスチール何度見ても良き。エリーさんのプレイは野球の面白さが凝縮していて本当に楽しい。レッズを追いかけるきっかけをくれたベンガルズのバロウさんに感謝しかない。
As a Yankee fan Aaron judge used to be my favorite player but now its ELLIE! He is so fun to watch he easily deserves the NL MVP
Well then, you better learn to spell his name! Elly.
The Reds next Joey Votto… and he’s already got a batting average that hovers around .300, generational power, an arm of a starting pitcher, and track star type speed…
Votto made his debut six days before his 25th birthday.

Amazing player!!!
Dela is on fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dela? we just making names up now?
Players like Elly gonna really help bring this sport out of the 20s. Wishful but maybe not far off thinking.
Never been a Reds fan. From the PNW so I was always a Griffey fan. When Griffey went to Cincy, I bought a Cincy hat. Watching Elly is the closest I have ever been to following the Reds since Griffey went there. He's just exciting to watch no matter what he is doing.
These calls are incredible
This kid in a month has made a cooler highlight reel than some guys do in 15 years.
I’m so glad I have a renewed interest in baseball after not really watching it most of my adult life. Thank you MLB RUclips channel. Elly De La Cruz is so fun to watch.
Él pelotero Dominicanos que con movió a él mundo 🌎 Eliz de la cruz excelente dominicanos Dios les siga dando muchos éxitos en su vida
Elly es como cinco peloteros en uno y tienes sangre Dominicano!
Elly representing the country 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴
Talent unlimited but the joy and passion he plays with is infectious
Impressive. Then Brewers pitching was like “cool, watch this.”
Can’t be mad, those off speed pitches getting to him when all he was hitting was straight fastballs and sinkers
Yea brewers pitching and elli was like watch this: steals 2nd, 3rd and home.
@@bassface513 and Brewers pitching won five out of six games. He can have his deals as long as the other team has the wins

Outstanding player! Love how he's ready to sprint out of the box on all contact. Awesome to see
Haven’t watched mlb in a few years, this dude is getting me back into it!
This dude is BEAST! Hope to see more of this in the near future.
Love watching Elly play amazing 👏🏼
Man he has brought my love back for baseball
Go Elly🎉⚾️😎
The Reds are definitely selling more seats this year.. The kid is fun to watch.
The slow motion shots of him sliding, and the chains, braids and helmet flying. 🎉
This is the player we hoped would revive baseball with those tremendous crazy plays, Elly de la cruz definitely ignites an intense flame keep watching him

Elly esta rompiendo el sistema. Quiero verlo aquí en RD cuando juegue para el Licey en unos meses❤
Haven't been this excited about the Reds since the 90's teams. Thabk you Elly
He is absolutely amazing to watch, phenomenal player 👏
been following since he got called up and only knew who he was because his card was insane on diamond dynasty last year. loving his start to his career.

Those Reds jerseys are 🔥
It's so fun to watch his play !! It's another “Showtime” !!✨
The play by play guy make it it even more exciting ITS A CYCLLLLEEEE ! Epic!
it's cool seeing how many more fans there are as the video goes on
Every time this guy came up to bat in the Braves v Reds series it gave me heartburn. Electric for sure, what a fun guy to watch.
Dude has been in the league for a months and a half and already has a full highlight reel
Dude is truly unreal!!
It’s like he’s speed running achievements
The most exciting the reds have been since they had the hit king
DOMINICANOS ACTIVOS 🇩🇴💯🔥🔥🔥🔥
ngl been a huge fan of this guy. Unreal energy, has me rockin with the reds LOL
Eric Davis is mentoring this young man has been thats why he wears #44

Good time to be a Reds and Bengals fan, never had such good teams, not for a while
Watching the home crowd size grow week after week shows just how electric this player and team truly is!
The reds are a great young talent. We are on a little cold spell at the moment but nothing we can’t bring ourselves up from. Let’s go reds!
I’m not a baseball fan by any stretch of the imagination but watching this gives me goosebumps
Someone flipped the power switch in August
he's my fantasy baseball savior
Was.
Same, Elly, Mookie Betts and Acuna are the only 3 guys on my team that give me points
Elly De La Cruz ftw!!! He’s the next best thing to happen in MLB. 😊
Wow,honestly haven't seen this kind of potential in a long time
How fun is watching de la Cruz highlights yes is fun just enjoy it Cincinnati
One of the best right now

I'm huge fan of this young man, he's playing MVP baseball as a Rookie. 😮
Anyone else notice the ballpark fill up more the later we got into the video. That boy is a STUD!!
This man makes me wanna start watching baseball and be a reds fan
“It’s a CYYYYCLEEEEE” send shivers down my spine.
So glad to see the Reds playing exciting baseball. It's even better the seats are full of Reds fans!! Think, Reds win the World Series and Bengals win the SuperBowl!!!!
"That ball had a family" is such a great homerun call. Kudos to the announcer, he is exciting to listen to.
