In the 10th inning of Sunday's season finale win against the Cubs, Elly De La Cruz ripped a triple down the right-field line.

That triple made De La Cruz be the first player in Major League history to have a season with 30 or more doubles, 25 or more home runs, 10 or more triples, and 60 or more stolen bases.

De La Cruz is only 22 years old, and he is already one of the most exciting players in baseball.

🚨 Scoring change alert 🚨

Elly De La Cruz’s first inning hit today has been changed from a double + error to a triple. The scoring change means Elly finishes with 10 triples and makes him the first player in MLB history with:

30+ doubles
25+ HR
10+ triples
60+ SB#Reds
