I never get tired of watching Elly De la Cruz swing. EDLC generates an unbelievable amount of power from a rather compact swing.

On 4/28/1970 Tony Perez hit his 10th HR of the season, clanging it off the Crosley Field flag pole in left-center. On 4/28/2026, Elly De La Cruz hit his 10th HR of the season into the left field seats. The 10 HRs are the most by a Red before May. #Reds

Lordy what a throw from third by Elly De La Cruz

Diego Cartaya has struck out 23 times in 35 PAs at A+ (65% K rate). He’s 24. I remember when he went to Dayton when he was on Great Lakes, and Dayton’s pxp was dubious about Cartaya being ranked higher than their wunderkind, an electric beanpole by the name of Elly De La Cruz. Lifetime ago, now.
