Different positions, but his game reminds me a lot of another Reds player in Eric Davis. Fun and reckless and fast, and maybe just a little bit dangerous.

Hopefully he stays healthier then Davis.
That, for sure.
There's likely other players currently that are getting more love/attention but since he just played the Jays the other night, and it was my first time watching him this year, then getting 60 steals, I was curious how much hobby love he actually had?
He did pretty good with the Jays and kept the strikeouts to a minimum so maybe things are looking up for him in that dept?
Seems like a good kid too.

It took a little while, but shortstop Elly De La Cruz became one of the rare 20/60 players in Major League Baseball on Wednesday during an 11-7 victory over the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre. "It means a lot," said De La Cruz. "I've said before that that's why I'm working the whole season. I feel so proud, so happy."
