Watched this after the cycle and after he stole 2nd 3rd and home. Absolutely amazing player

I don't even watch baseball and I'm watching this kid. Amazing! Talent jumps off the screen.

The strikeouts are definitely annoying but those will come down with time as he adjusts to the majors even more.

Love watching Ella play! Reds have a great team chemistry! I love his hair too! His is amazing player! ❤

He will get plate discipline in time, if he stays healthy he could help carry the Reds to the postseason. Build around this kid and bring back the "Big Red Machine" !!!

Caught a Reds game earlier this year when I was in Cincinnati. EDC hit an infield grounder and everyone in my row was yelling "HE CAN BEAT IT!" (He beat it.)

The Reds are stacked and packed. Encarncion Strand and Marte havent even got a chance yet. And they are the two best prospects we have.

Reds to Pirates: We see your Cruz and raise you a De La Cruz

The problem for the rest of the MLB, Joey Votto has him sitting down beside him, talking hitting. The Reds announcer also mentioned that Elly is just now getting used to major league breaking balls.

[juanpena]

Elly is the most exciting player in mlb Cincinnati is lucky

[JamieSmith-fzmz]

Makes the other older players look passive and content. Hope he lights a fire under them and makes them raise their games.

[WanerPena]

Not to mention that the Reds won 12 straight games after Elly was called up. Lol

[aroncastrejon]

Can’t believe I ever thought I ever even had a chance to make the bigs
