Elly De La Cruz is, by far, the most entertaining player in baseball right now.
He may have predicted one of his latest home runs, he’s breaking records with his throws in the infield, he’s called out opposing managers for bat checks … yeah, he’s awesome.
And on Monday, he hit a home run 456 feet, which is cool, but here’s what makes it cooler: It came after he got robbed by Joey Wiemer and the Brewers scoreboard put up this about him: “Almost hit a home run in the first inning … but didn’t.”

Did he see that? Was he told? Either way, awesome:
