Hear the electric call of Reds rookie Elly De La Cruz stealing 3 bases in one at-bat

Cincinnati Reds rookie Elly De La Cruz is building a reputation for himself as one of the most electric talents in the MLB.

During a Saturday afternoon tilt with the Milwaukee Brewers, De La Cruz boldly stole second and third base respectively after getting on first before making a dramatic run for home.

De La Cruz dove into home plate and was ruled safe by the umpire as his team broke out in celebration after the rookie stole all three bases. De La Cruz’s diamond heroics got the Reds a phenomenally entertaining run for the record books.

Bally Sports Cincinnati broadcaster John Sadak brought the heat with the perfect call to what will surely be a defining moment in De La Cruz’s stunning rookie season.

In a moment like this, the best broadcasters know how to elevate the moment to match the excitement on the field. Sadak nailed the call and surely helped make this moment all the more special for all the Reds fans at home.

It made for some fantastic Saturday afternoon baseball, partly owed to De La Cruz’s brilliant play and partly owed to Sadak’s perfect call.
