Triple A pitchers can breathe a sigh of relief. Elly De La Cruz is finally going to the majors.
De La Cruz, ranked by MLB.com as the No. 4 prospect in the majors and the best in the Reds’ system, was called up by Cincinnati on Tuesday after 38 dominant games in the minors this season. In 38 games with the Triple A Louisville Bats, he hit 12 homers and posted a 1.031 OPS. He made the remarkable look routine, hitting some of the longest home runs you’ve ever seen.
