Cincinnati Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz hit a 423-foot home run in the fourth inning against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday afternoon.

The home run was his 25th home run of the season and put him in the history books once again.

De La Cruz became the first shortstop in Major League Baseball to hit 25 home runs and steal 65 bases in a single season.

He's the third player in Reds history to college 25 home runs and 65 stolen bases in the same season, joining Joe Morgan and Eric Davis.

While all eyes have been on Shohei Ohtani (52 homers, 52 stolen bases) this season Cincinnati Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz just became the first shortstop in MLB history to hit 25 homers and steal 65 bases in the same season.
