I thought it would be impossible, but Elly De La Cruz has actually exceeded my expectations in his first week in the majors. I thought that McLain had placed the bar too high but, somehow, EDLC's speed has been even more impressive. He is truly incredible. I've never seen a combination of speed, power and plate discipline (yes, I know he's struck out a fair amount, but if you watch him, he takes a LOT of balls that a young player should probably be swinging at) like this in a Reds player before.
.364/.481/.636/1.118 with 5 walks, 4 RBI, 7 runs and 3 SB in 27 plate appearances over 6 games is quite the start to a major league career. I anticipate him cooling down over this coming week, but he is quickly turning into the engine that makes this offense go.
