I bought my Elly jersey after his cycle game. He had a rough end to the year then a rough first week, but man did that Inside the Park home run feel good to be wearing his Jersey at the time.
love how he spent the offseason learning english so he can interview better and have a bigger connection with the fans. this kid is a beast, the Reds need to secure him for life.
I’m not a big baseball fan in general but my team is the Rays. However when Cincy is on tv I’m watching . This guy woke up a love for watching baseball I never knew I had. I hope he is around for a long time .
De La Cruz is so quick he often beats the throw to first. When he is playing ss if he can field the ball in his neighborhood he consistently throws out the runner. He is developing into a complete player. Even more impressive for a guy who is 6'5"!!
Who knew Ernesto de la Cruz (the greatest Mexican musician of all time) had a son that was so good at baseball. They never told us about this in the movie
I Apologize for the terrible grammar as I am using talk to text on my phone because I can't text because my fingers hurt and I hope I don't have to pull landscaping duty .... If you reach Major League level baseball without being a great athlete unless a player has some sort of niche skill like a knuckleball pitcher maybe..... And I'm not saying that a picture that specializes in throwing knuckleballs can't be a great athlete but typically a person that can throw a baseball over 90 miles an hour they're a pretty damn good athlete. Throwing a baseball really hard requires the same fast twitch muscles that are used when a person dunks on a 10-ft goal or sprints exceptionally well. Of course certain positions typically have better athletes than other positions. An outfielder that can run like a damn deer and has a cannon for an arm is pretty damn athletic. I get tired of people making comments about baseball having inferior athletes compared with other sports. People don't even realize that in baseball prospects are required to run the 60-yard dash because sprinting is pretty damn important in baseball. I guess people assume that in order to be a top level base runner stealing high numbers of bases each season is more about skill rather than just sheer speed. it's both..... They have to be creative in the way they slide because the catcher at this level of baseball we'll have a cannon for an arm and will not be slow moving when throwing down to second or third. And hitting a major league or any professional or college level pitcher isn't more about skill than it is athleticism. Sure there is a lot of skill involved in being a good hitter at higher levels but does anyone really think that a poor athlete could ever be a professional or college level hitter and put up great numbers? Football and basketball are similar to baseball in that certain positions are known for less athleticism than others. Middle in God damn fielders aren't typically as big as say a third baseman or a first baseman but I know there are exceptions to this and I'm just speaking generally. Think about the positions in basketball or football and the size differences and speed differences between positions. I don't know.....I guess because baseball has a slower overall pace but that does not mean that baseball doesn't have moments that are just as fast as any sport with players running full tilt and everyone utilizing all of their ability. I mean I guess people don't realize that in order to prevent a base runner from scoring or beating out a ground ball it might require players to move with a little bit of urgency lol. I think folks look at baseball players and assume that they're not a great athlete a lot of the time because of the lack of familiarity with the game. I'm sure many people could see Josh Hamilton on TV and not realize that the dude had top level like 1 percentile level athleticism. There aren't many athletes of his caliber in the world yet even those less gifted than he are often freaking amazing athletes. Go look at some chipper Jones high School football highlights because that dude could have played in the NFL I have no doubt. I know that I could have presented my argument in a much more organized and clear way but hell if a person's not going to agree that to be a great baseball player playing at a high there needs to be some pretty damn good athleticism then I'm not going to waste my time trying to convince them otherwise. I do take offense to the assumptions about this and baseball because I think baseball is an amazing sport and someone talking like that could influence some young kid and that kid might never even give baseball a try just because they're somehow equating it with golf in their minds due to the ignorance of people.
Elly literally has no weakness in his game. Dude plays defense has an arm hes accurate has speed can make contact or destroy a ball base hits home runs doubles triples rbi machine like bruh... Hes a gahdayum cyborg
My first ever baseball game was his cycle, insane, thing is, I didn’t know anything about baseball then so I was just like, “oh cool” AND I GOT A SIGNED REDS STICKER! And just was like, “yippee, what do I do with this
I am not a Cincy fan, being from St. Louis, but this guy is exciting! I love watching these De La Cruz highlights.
He is great for baseball!
i wish the Cards had him
@RecreationalMensSlowpitchSoftb🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣

This is what makes baseball so fun to watch! New players and old, I tip my hat to each and everyone of you.
"India around third, India scores! IT'S A CYCLEEEEEEEEEE!"
One of the best calls of my lifetime. Go Reds!
I personally loved "That ball had a family!"
Bro no way I told my grandma the that was one of my fav calls to and the other when my uncle hit a grand slam
love how he spent the offseason learning english so he can interview better and have a bigger connection with the fans. this kid is a beast, the Reds need to secure him for life.
Castellinis only care about themselves so he'll go somewhere that'll pay him like NY or LA
the reds will trade him.
They better not. He’s a generational talent
They need to pay him like they do others!!
He can always come over to the Yankees haha 😆 can you imagine him and judge
“That ball had a Family” is just amazing 😂
That shit had me crackin up too. 😂😂😂. That was a good one. 👍🏿. Imma use that line when I hit homers on the show lol
i was about to comment that
heahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I don't get it
FR
i’ve never watched a reds game in my life. i love this announcer. “That ball had a family” is a terrific call
"... into the shrubbery!"
i’ve heard many things under the sun, but “that ball had a family” has to be the most original and hilarious call i’ve ever heard
I will never forget being at ellys cycle game, not only did he get a cycle but it was one of the best reds games in YEARS
Do you remember when this game was? I would like to watch it back! Thanks :)
@@isabelletetu8078 It was June 23rd against the braves, there is a video of the whole game on youtube!
@@isabelletetu8078 June 23rd
this dude is insane
yes he is. i wish the Cards had him. best on both sides of the field
I've never seen anything like him 😊
Yea it’s wild. If athletes start placing baseball it could really start to get interesting
Literally me
He a beast among men
It’s so great to see a game with Elly in it. And he is always smiling, he really loves baseball
An absolutely unimaginable talent.. You can’t make a ball player like this up.. Wow! Wow and triple WOW!!
Amazing talent, a true baseball player. Gifted. Stay healthy young man. You're a once upon a time player.
Dam, this guy is not human, De La Cruz is cyborg mechanism wrapped in synthetic tissue. MVP skills.
I’m not a big baseball fan in general but my team is the Rays. However when Cincy is on tv I’m watching . This guy woke up a love for watching baseball I never knew I had. I hope he is around for a long time .
Man is truly a unicorn. He worked so hard on English that he is now doing interviews in English now. Special and so glad he is on my favorite team.
Glad to know he’s on my hometown team. He’s one AWESOME player and cool dude. Almost all the team is super nice to meet before and after games!!!
If any person thought baseball was boring. De La Cruz will change your mind.
hell yes
Good for the game
It's not just Elly that is eletric, the comentator is too, everytime Elly does something fantastic the comment is there to give me goosebumps
"That Ball had a Family!!!" had me dying
Astros fan all day but this guy right here is my fav player to watch.
Tip my hat for making bb fun to watch
Plus John Sadak with the calls 🔥
He's something else. A 6'6'' switch hitter, and sprinter, with a cannon for an arm.
I’m not a reds fan but I love watching this guy he’s a rising star in the MLB
That's the best call "THAT BALL HAD A FAMILY" 😂😂😂
Dude’s got natural god given talent!!!! Man he smokes it!!!
"the ball had a family"!!!
Truly..one of the best lines ever..
Elly dé la Cruz es uno de los mejores peloteros Dominicanos sin lugar a dudas
Yankee fan here but but this guy is great for baseball and is exciting to watch. By the time Stanton reaches first base de la Cruz is at third base.
De La Cruz is so quick he often beats the throw to first. When he is playing ss if he can field the ball in his neighborhood he consistently throws out the runner. He is developing into a complete player. Even more impressive for a guy who is 6'5"!!
Camera man can’t even keep up with this greatness 😂😂😂 Pure Legend
7:08 almost broke that car window 😅
Jays fan here but I think Elly is becoming my favourite player to watch. Such an amazing athlete!
He’s got my 10 year old son excited to watch baseball. Incredible to for the game!
One of the best swings in all of baseball!
Who knew Ernesto de la Cruz (the greatest Mexican musician of all time) had a son that was so good at baseball. They never told us about this in the movie
The brewers are his fav team. What a awesome baseball player. Setting records already.
Bro I’m not a reds fan but de la Cruz is on fire I like this guy
Im not a Reds fan, but boy I love watching there games because of this dude. He's insane
His bat timing is insane. HIT and RUN
When Elly de la Cruz hit his first ever home run I was at that game and I was the one that caught the ball
“That ball had a family” got me 😂😂😂
Elly is the best player He is going to be an all star this year
5:35, one of the hardest plays to make, and he does like it's a routine play
Amen De La Cruz !!!!! God Bless you in your success!!!! I enjoy watching you…
If every team had athletes like this baseball would be fun to watch
I Apologize for the terrible grammar as I am using talk to text on my phone because I can't text because my fingers hurt and I hope I don't have to pull landscaping duty ....

Cardinals fan here. Wish we had him. Most exciting player in baseball.
They call this dude the most exciting man in baseball for a reason. LETS GO REDS!
Acuna and Chisholm and Elly, unmatched.
*Chisholm needs to step up and stay healthy tho
Unbelievable speed and reflexes 😅
Man this guy is fun to watch!!
Crazy Elly, only one hit as a right hand hitter😊
Man this guy is fun to watch he is a total package player but that canon of an arm is amazing.
Este paisano es a otro nivel en las mayores verlo jugar es una delicia 😅😅 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴el animaaaalll❤
Elly has brought back excitement in Cincinnati
Sin dudas exelente jugador, saludos desde Cuba.
I LOVE this dude. Got to see him play for the bats in Lou the week before he was called up to the Reds
Whoever came up w/the quote *speed kills* was def picturing Elly in his head.
That cycle gives me goosebumps everytime
2 or 3 more years and this guy's gonna be mvp candidate.
Maybe 5-10 more years.
Hey he showing th world 🌍🌍 hard work stay in school no drugs ths wht it looks like
How much fun is this announcer having with Elly?!
As talented as he is, the bloke Fkn hustles man. Super impressive ❤
Market this Man....Giants fan but I always tune in to Reds games to watch De La Cruz
Bendiciones sigue trabajando tú bas a ser grande y sensacional
This is my type of baseball. Speed firecracker 🎉
This dude looks like he's having a blast playing in little league. He does horsequats everyday he'll fly even faster ✈️
He is so good and he hustles every play
One of my biggest flexes is that at my cousins graduation party we went to the braves vs reds game and saw de la Cruz hit for the cycle
2:19 wow never knew de la cruz could throw curveballs
Curveballs go don that was a slider
It was not a curve ball
This man is my new hero lol 👊😎
2:25 might be the most pure individual effort I’ve ever seen from a base runner
I will say it forever. Have a once around the bases comp at the all star game. Way more entertaining than a hr comp
One of my biggest flexes is that at my cousins graduation party we went to the braves vs reds game and saw de la hCruz hit for the cycle
I am a Cleveland fan, but dang love this guys swing.....
I’m not sure I’ve seen a more athletically gifted baseball player
The Reds commentator is fire
What an athlete!!!
Elly on the base pads is not even fair. 🤣🤣🤣
This guy is incredible
Earned a sub
