Elly De La Cruz showcased his stunningly strong arm during Sunday’s game against the Diamondbacks, miraculously throwing out star outfielder Corbin Carroll to deny him what would have been an inside-the-park home run.
After Carroll blasted a hit to the wall in center field, the ball was misplayed by Reds’ T.J. Friedl. Arizona’s third base coach Tony Perezchica waved Carroll home, but the 23-year-old was gunned down by the relay throw from De La Cruz, which registered at nearly 100 mph, clocking in officially at 99.7 mph.
