Is there anything Cincinnati Reds infielder Elly De La Cruz can’t do?
During a Saturday game against the Toronto Blue Jays, De La Cruz pulled off one of the smoothest Little League home runs that you’re likely to see this season of any MLB team.
Multiple Toronto errors led to a Reds baserunner making it home, but De La Cruz found a way to make it around the diamond to home just in time to be called safe and to get a run for himself.
It’s the kind of electric play that has turned De La Cruz into one of the game’s most promising young stars. It’s also the kind of play that makes him a nightmare for opposing teams when he pulls moves like this.

De La Cruz is going to become a Cincinnati legend in no time if he keeps making plays like this. MLB fans can’t help but look on in awe.
MLB fans loved seeing De La Cruz do his thing.
There’s your daily reminder that this kid from Cincinnati is a freak. https://t.co/1kp2vDWB3L
