Elly De La Cruz had an April that hadn't been done in the Modern Era...
He might be the most electric player in baseball today...
So why was I worried he was getting overhyped after the 2023 season?
The numbers!
In this video we take a look back at Elly De La Cruz's analytically poor 2023, while comparing it to his historic start to 2024 using stats from Baseball Reference, Fangraphs, and Baseball Savant! All just so I can eat crow... Because after looking at how he's improved and in which areas specifically he has improved? And once we consider what he might actually put up number wise?? Elly De La Cruz has proven me wrong...
The hype is ABSOLUTELY deserved! He might not be just the most electric in baseball today, but he might be the most electric player in Baseball History! Do you agree...?
Is Elly the most electric player we have ever seen? Do you think Elly can achieve 40/90? Let me know in the comments!
Thanks for watching! I appreciate you all!

That, my friends, is how you do a god damned thumbnail!

As a Reds fan I watch every Reds game. Elly makes incredible plays at SS that don't even show up on a stat sheet. He has caught multiple balls halfway out in left with his elite speed.

Lets not forget.... There was a UFO scare in Las Vegas right before Elly showed up in the MLB. Hmmmmmm????

As a Phillie fan, that Dominic Briwn reference was so evil.. 😂 but you just earned another subscriber. Great work. 🫡

He makes mistakes and errors but he is very fun to watch. He seems like a nice guy also heard he is trying hard to learn English so more fans can see his personality, gotta respect that.

The courage to speak a language you barely know on live tv is crazy! Acuña too. Respect 1000%. 🙌

He already speaks English and has done some interviews speaking English. Pretty impressive kid.

If Elly can figure out hitting as a righty at the MLB level (ironically he was better from the right side in the minors), nobody will be able to stop him. Wish Boston could have a guy like that on the roster.

I actually had a blurb in there about his struggles against lefties initially. Then went to make the graphic and saw that he raised his numbers just in that few days… 😂 I ended up cutting it, but I agree with ya. There was a time where I thought he should just hit lefty against lefties…

Me a Boston fan, just hoping they call Dalbec back up and praying we extend O'neal (we won't)

@GoodVibesBaseball 2 ай бұрын

Dalbec is so fascinating. Do they just need to give him consistent at bats for it to click at the big league level? 🤔

@@GoodVibesBaseball couldn't tell ya to keep it a buck I didn't really get too too into baseball until going into last season and moreso gave up following the Sox when they were on the down, hired Heim to trade mookie and fumble Bogarts but I knew he bolstered the homegrown talent and I think he's one of em?

He needs to bat left handed only. His average and slugging are lower as a righty Also, I am tired of watching him get picked off. Arizona had a set play ready for him yesterday and he bit like a total fish.

I remember they often said this about Chipper Jones too.

@GoodVibesBaseball 2 ай бұрын

I was actually screaming it from the mountain tops even earlier this year. But he has started to show some good signs as a righty, I’m not going to doubt him for now. 😂 Chipper is a great example! 🙌

3:39 it should be "3 FEWER steals" not "3 less steals" And then right after you say "Elly had way Less ABs" should be "fewer ABs" You seem smart, otherwise i wouldnt bother pointing these mistakes out. And tons of people do the same thing you did. But maybe since youre a baseball fan youll appreciate the language rules once you hear them. If the thing is "countable" then we use "fewer" So its "fewer hamburgers" and "less food" Same with "amount" and "number" I constantly hear people say amount when they should say number Less is to amount as fewer is to number Alright thanks and awesome vid, we love Elly here in Cincinnati. His debut in 2023 when the Reds went on a big win streak and Elly hit for the Cycle was the most excited peoppe had been for over a decade for sure

He’s the most overrated player I have seen in almost 2 decades. He is hitting .249 this season which raised his lifetime average to .239. 😂😂😂 G R O S S L Y O V E R R A T E D
