silence anticipation to see what oh goodness that ball had a family in game two his first home run John that wasn’t just a home run that ball almost exited the ballpark the hardest hit ball by a red this year that was nearly 115 it brought everyone to their feet Lark statcast projected that ball to go nearly 460 ft De La Cruz bashes to Right Center is he for real he’s going to go three easily has a triple folks you better come down to the ballpark you better come down here Cincinnati and watch this young man play look at him pick him up and put him down those long strides I’m telling you MADD mlan oh my goodness these two young kids was it the devil’s lirer should try some of the concessions bang bang De La Cruz infield hit you cannot take your eyes off of Ellie De La Cruz who proclaimed himself yesterday the fastest man alive well cardos are going to take a look at this underneath and see if it’s worth asking for a review but see the acceleration down the line and does he beat way right to the bag he does one two breaking ball to left Center that’s down base hit windmill on in third Cally sent to the plate no relay and ell De La Cruz now two for two he ties the game at two really good at bat right here not trying to overpower trying to just like stay back and stay within it right there that was a good curveball he’s off Pitch away throw down no another steal well he had a huge lead and a huge break in fact way really never did make him stop out there he went to the plate very quickly Ellie had a big jump right here and now keep in mind conteras has got a really good arm but he just threw that ball high Ellie did not slide over the bag and get tagged out on a second time grounded to short David Cruz to the plate the throw and he lost it contras dropped the ball D La Cruz scores Stevenson reaches the Reds claim the lead 4 to3 as D La Cruz blazes to the plate and Advantage Reds well the Reds do it a lot and David Bell is a very is very favorable of the contact play meaning I’m running on contact even with the infield in De La Cruz opposite way profar back ell De La Cruz opposite way for home run number two it’s a 4-1 game well this is a nice adjustment right here by Ellie de Cruz a lot of pitches out away from him and he’s going to have to commit to hitting that ball out over the plate chipped in the air De La Cruz lot of ground to cover and then thin sliver of foul territory leaps up makes the grab undercut by steer and he holds on they La Cruz helping his teammate to his feet as they bump down the line in foul ground Ellie De La Cruz playing a traditional short stop having to go a long long way down the Third Base Line what he does nicely is he gets the wall and runs along the wall great play five to nothing Atlanta sta Cruz bats for the first time working on a five-game hit streak that is Blitz to right center field off the top of the wall D La crw storms up to second base he nearly had a home run by inches that was 17 off the bat and now deor Cruz will bat with those two outs and the runners still standing at third base in TJ Fredo pitch first pitch in the air to right aunia back at the wall gone De La Cruz does it again home run number three on the year his second of the home stand and his two-run shot has the Reds back within one this man is electric onew broke his b that’s in the center base hit windmill on McCrae Harrison Center lob to Second mlan slides home safely India over to third De La Cruz he is a triple shy three for three and the Reds within one the legend of Ellie De La Cruz continues to grow Ellie day La Cruz stands in and as he does the entire Red’s dugout is gathering De La Cruz Right Center down base hit could he go three India around third India scores it’s a cyle this rookie in two weeks of the big leagues post the first cycle for a red since 1989 ell mania this ball change up from heler this was the perfect pitch in the perfect location for Ellie De La Cruz and let’s just get the camera on him and watch him run the man can absolutely fly and he knew very well that he needed that triple for the cycle D La Cruz just missed a home run his last time up but a long Fly ball to right that is driven hard to right Center awkward read by India Furious windmill on De La Cruz shoots up to Second throw to Second head first punch India scores tied ring double people are going to start stop pitching to this young man right here this was a change up out over the plate la de la Cruz well De La Cruz has had a rough go against left-handed pitching hitting at a 107 clip he’s only had three hits in 28 at bats and he’s got to figure that out soft poke Right Center splashes down base hit India storms through second Thomas strong throw to third it’s offline D Cruz takes Plum Advantage backside scoots in the second the Red’s aggression forces a mistake Thomas has a cannon but could not get India and gifs a second man in scoring position first pitch hammered over short base hit De La Cruz aggressive birth around first he holds and he has a couple of pokes batting right-handed well he got one a slow breaking pitch that lofted into right field his first time up but this one you know he just gets a pitch it’s up it’s a breaking ball again and even though he got it on the end of the bat it came off there he’s got such great bat speed hard comebacker De La Cruz he has matched his season long total base hits batting right side in his first three at bats today I think the swag’s going to have to stay he he might need to wear those beads for a bit Ellie day La Cruz three for three ground ball short Abrams backand off balance he falls down and De La Cruz safe and I got to think at least part of it he knows how fast Ellie De La Cruz is well if you’re an infielder and you’re playing back there on the back grass with De La Cruz up you should be coming in towards the home plate area score at a single De La Cruz has tied his career high De La Cruz trying to add to it he crushes Upper Deck Right Center take that 94 a De La Cruz missile he sizzled it into the second deck a 51 Reds lead now remember earlier in the game there was dispute over the knob of de la Cruz’s bat and eight points margas off sharp ground ball De La Cruz backhand Outfield grass throw got it Oh my he is just different L Cruz goes pitch called a strike throw down on a skip late another steal for Ellie day La Cruz that’s his 14th swipe caught just twice in the show well Karas did not even have time to get up to set his feet he had to throw it from his knees he takes off again pitch down an in Fame throw there’s no chance two steals saor Cruz had already looked a couple of times at Brian Anderson knowing that if he got a jum he’s going home the throw he sto home the most thrilling man in baseball stole second third and home Theo turned his back on the plate and as he did Dan Cruz took one little throw hop towards the plate and then he let it rip 02 down the left field line D la Cruz straddling the line over the shoulder Fair Ground catch that was an awfully good play by Ellie deor Cruz not just to get there but you’re catching the ball over the shoulder D La Cruz backs up weamer can run D La Cruz can throw a dart to first base I think we might have witnessed history that the MLB record for hardest infield throw was the Pirates O’Neal Cruz at 97.9 the exact velocity that Ellie De La Cruz threw out weamer that’s a tough ball that’s a fair ball handled by D La Cruz he got him Sensational play at the hot quarter talked about the fundamentals Ellie De La Cruz look at that adjustment that he makes the ball hits the bag and then the gun across the diamond good attempt Jonathan India rounded to third back in SM De La Cruz longer throw to first got it there C forto up to Second Wade grounds out nice play Ellie De La Cruz here’s when we talk about the leverage and the length of Ellie De La Cruz watch how he throws this ball to first base no chance to set his feet that’s called leveraging the ball to first base that is what he is capable of doing because of his length the ball is traveling to left Center and Benson started more shallow on extension he can’t get to it windmill is on Benson throw to D La Cruz he’s got a cannon it’s fired to the plate the ball is there the tag he is out Benson De La Cruz melee Flores sliced down at home PL there’s so many things that have to happen correctly in order to nail Flores at the dish right here will Benson does a nice job tracking that ball playing the carum making a nice throw to Ellie De La Cruz D La Cruz High fly deep Right Center gone outside of the stadium it went over the SUV it cleared the stands that ball had a family after the near Miss on the robbery De La Cruz leaves no doubt and the D La Cruz puts a charge into that one over first that kicks Corner D La Cruz sprinting up to Second bets has a great arm throw in D La Cruz try for three here’s the relay head first slide triple out of the gate for Ellie De La Cruz he ran on mooki bets and got the aid of the corner English on that base hit over first right let the fans here at Dodger Stadium came to watch Ellie DEA crew show off tools here’s the way you do it you start the game off with a shot down the right field line and turn it into a triple which for probably 99% of the players in baseball that’s Ellie D La Cruz standing in Michael Grove ready to deliver first pitch center right d La Cruz is on hits in each game on the series two minut out here in the second inning and now Ellie De La Cruz will bat this ball is smashed deep to right field way out of here 4 nothing Reds for Ellie de la Cruz’s seventh home run that hit the dirt but it hit it about 400 ft away triple double single Homer that’s his seven of the campaign and he expands the Reds lead it is four to nothing you know when when he gets it he doesn’t hit many wall scrapers De La Cruz he swings and lines it into right field make it a three hit game for Ellie De La Cruz the oh drilled up the middle under the backhand sweeping try Rosario Ellie De La Cruz aboard for a fourth time today now threads have been routed in back-to-back games but you win today you split the series you go 500 on a long and tough road trip Jameson tyone first pitch St La Cruz center field Bellinger back how’s that for a start pitch bomb he got a day off yesterday and he goes full Ferris oh my now after the last two ball games we’ve seen that is a welcome s we’ve seen this a little more from D La Cruz in the last week but he has shown greater patience and he bashes crushes to left line drive home run three solo shots for the Reds and a three nothing lead went just under 400 ft per stat cast 113 off the bat that’s the first home run batting right-handed for Ellie De La Cruz grounded up the middle De La Cruz smother go to the bag himself got there for the for and solir fielders Choice reach for a rise one away that’s a great play by la de la Cruz base hit all day long but go go gadget look at that extension and then the ability to bounce up and get back to the bag really good play and his shot over first that’s a fair ball freedle rounds third he jogs home Davis with an arm gathers in right windmill is on at third relay goes to third mlan had first slide safe De La Cruz into third with a two run triple the reinvented lineup pays immediate dividends the first three reach and two are home it’s two nothing well there was a 100% chance that Ellie deor crw was swinging at this pitch he was down at the count he got a slider down and even though he looks like he’s a little bit fooled on that he gets a barrel on it and he’s got such tremendous bat speed rips it down the line and when he goes down the right field line two things are going to happen everybody on base is going to score it looked a few weeks ago because it felt like de crew saw very few fast balls that were in the zone sends this ball to deep Center to winsky back that’s going to carry flies to the home Bullpen a long solo shot for Ellie De La Cruz and the Reds tie the game once more he’s got double digit dingers recently even in this series we’ve seen a lot of fast balls go Ed de la Cruz’s way that may change because when you turn one around like he did in this at bat and go right out the front yard then they say well you know what we going go back to the breaking ball good job of hitting right there on that slider first Homer since April 11th gritch with a bouncer D Cruz a diving stop shows off the arm and gets the out some play by Ellie de la [Music] crw high in the air deep left Center oh yeah and that is gone in front of Pride Rock a big back flip from De La Cruz three-run bomb number 11 on his campaign and the three-run shot has the Reds ahead four to three cracked on the ground pass first base Benson scores Fredo give the wave just now red fro gathers Fredo scores mlan green light he Sprints to the plate they eat it a basis clearing three run triple De La Cruz with six ribbies and he has thundered the Reds offense in Anaheim now back to back it bats for de la Cruzer he just hits it right on the button sensus Center fre will flying back extends to the wall it’s over his reach it’s off the wall Carol Racing for third they’re going to wave him for an inside the Parker D La Cruz from short has thrown to the plate the tag they got him Carol tried to come around and the Reds defense up to the task Fredo De La Cruz dead at home plate on the tag from Stevenson a dynamite play what a throw by Ellie D La Cruz on the relay from TJ fredel as they cut down Corbin Carroll trying for an inside the park home run left side D La Cruz backhand Outfield grass throw got it to second base wow what a play and the Reds one out away that is a big time shortstop play that few can make in the history of baseball [Music] oh you’re thinking if you can get through this at bat with Ellie De La Cruz line to right B set B breaks he scores stops on Fredo D Cruz of wide bir slams it on the brakes he’s able to retreat Ellie day La Cruz ties it with a Bases Loaded base knot well he hit this ball so hard it got to Suzuki quickly and JRA house with the stop sign at third base ell De La Cruz was running around first base as if that was a game winner of the Reds nine walk-off wins four delivered by rookies D La Cruz does not have one yet swinging three 0 to short Crawford tough play sa and field hit definitely safe at first base but you can see the defense playing Ellie to pull this ball hit to the right of JP Crawford at Short Stop really not much of a chance with the speed of Ed L Cruz he has been caught stealing tonight he has not been caught stealing more than once in any big league game yet D La Cruz goes pitch swung on a Miss throw down Tails badly D La Cruz stole second what speed can do for you acrobatic effort by Roos to keep that ball from singling to Center that’s 25 swipes for the rookie Ellie De La Cruz showing his passion grounded right side windmill is on her from Right Center Reds win the rally Reds T walkoff of the year and rookies at the core once more and it is just a very short swing seeing that that is wide open I’m talking about wide open the speed of ell De La Cruz that’s wide open safe easily in the celebration what a reach ell d L Cruz takes it [Applause] away I think the fine thought he had a face H and no doubt about it this may be the only short stop in baseball that makes this play fine lifts left side D La Cruz the call with the best angle into the netting D La Cruz outstanding play by the red shortstop he times it just right and launches into the netting this man plays with abundant joy and it makes a big time [Music] play D La Cruz to deep Center that’s got tremendous carry into the Shrubbery andle he waited back on that and he’s waited a long time to get it and just a nice easy swing he’s got tremendous power when he makes contact maybe that will kickart him a little bit into Right Center down to base hit windmill on a third throw goes to third CES scor VTO claims third and then backside and alert day La Cruz shoots into second Reds within one two in scoring position Miss Q by the pitcher the error on the first baseman and backto back hits now for De La Cruz a home run at dead center field another center field shot it drives a run in and gets Joey V all the way over there to Third Base high in the air deep right the first multi home run game for Ellie day La Cruz he probably feels like the weight of the world has been lifted off his shoulders having a tough time over the last couple of months I mean unloads on that breaking ball sof the whole way
