Cincinnati Reds all-star shortstop Elly De La Cruz went viral Monday night with a "little league triple" against the Miami Marlins . Have a routine ground ball to the pitcher; he overthrew first base, leading Cruz to second when the base was unoccupied, which ultimately led him to third over a second throwing error.

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

Cruz is one player that doesn't dwindle in the confidence department, but it always comes in good faith. He is interactive, joyful, and plays with a ton of fun. The effects he has on the game and the base paths where he is currently leading the league in stolen bases are immense.

At just 22 years of age, he is already teaching himself English and made his first all-star game. He brings a lot to the table and he is just getting started.
