You want to know how fast Elly De La Cruz is? Well, you already know given how he’s scored from second on an errant pick-off attempt or the myriad of steals we’ve seen or the Little League home run that wowed us.
But, sure, here you go: this is how fast the Cincinnati Reds phenom is.
While facing the Colorado Rockies on Monday, he waited and waited for the catcher to toss the ball back to the pitcher BEFORE taking off for second. That’s when hurler Ryan Feltner threw to second and it wasn’t even close.
Check this out. WOW!
Elly didn't even start running until AFTER the catcher caught the pitch lol pic.twitter.com/9ldRnq2HLl
