Elly De La Cruz's Bold Take On The Most Exciting Player In The MLB

Cincinnati Reds phenom' Elly De La Cruz didn't mix words when he was asked by ESPN's Jeff Passan who the most exciting player in baseball was.

You're sitting right in front of him." De La Cruz said.

His confidence and joyful personality are what make him such a thrilling and exciting player to watch and listen to. He is always having fun and is always the first to express his respect to greats he comes across.

Cruz still leads the league in stolen bases with 57, has 19 home runs, 47 RBI's, and is hitting.257/.344/.482 with a.826 OPS. When he gets on the base paths, he becomes an instant threat. He can move from first base to third base in just two pitches. Electric to it's core.

The Reds are still on the outskirts, looking in for a playoff spot, but still remain in plausible contention, with De La Cruz leading the way.
