What comes after 30-30 season even bigger for Elly De La Cruz, Reds
Cincinnati Reds SS Elly De La Cruz finished the fourth 30-30 season in franchise history with a steal Friday. What's next for the All-Star and team?
Cincinnati Reds' star shortstop Elly De La Cruz is having a remarkable 30-30 season and has become the franchise's most dynamic performer since Eric Davis. On the final day of his third full season in the majors, De La Cruz stole third and home on one pitch in his 30th steal, completing the milestone only four other players in franchise history have achieved.
Following his performance in Toronto, he joins the exclusive club of players like Davis (1987), Barry Larkin (1996) and Brandon Phillips (2007). The Reds, however, have only one winning season and an 0-2 playoff appearance to show for De La Cruz's three full seasons in the majors, highlighting both the impressive talent and the challenges ahead for the team.
