Reds Star Prospect Elly De La Cruz Did Video Game-Like Things on First Career Hit and MLB Fans Loved It

Wow.

The day that Reds fans have long been waiting for finally came on Tuesday, as star prospect Elly De La Cruz made his first career start in the big leagues.

Even better for the Reds, they were able to score three runs in the bottom of the ninth to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers, 9–8.

Let’s get back to De La Cruz’s first hit because all of it was impressive. Check this out: 

Those numbers should have Reds fans even more excited about the future.
