Elly De La Cruz Strikes Out Five Times Thursday
1 year agoCincinnati Reds top prospect Elly De La Cruz is having a phenomenal season in Triple-A, but it was a different story on Friday when the infielder went 0-for-5 with five punchouts. The game brought his slash line to .293/.390/.626, and he's gone deep 11 times, with 33 runs, 33 RBI, and 11 stolen bases over 35 games. De La Cruz could make it to the big leagues soon, but most of his value comes in dynasty leagues. The 21-year-old is the fourth-best prospect in all of baseball, according to MLB Pipeline, and he has 20-20 potential with his raw power and blazing speed.
