Reds - Baseball - Players To Watch

As the Reds prepare to face off against the Braves at the Great American Ball Park, all eyes will be on Elly De La Cruz, the shortstop who has been a consistent performer in recent games. In the last three outings, De La Cruz has shown impressive fielding skills with a perfect fielding percentage in two of those games and only one error in another. His batting average over these games stands at .194, with an on-base percentage of .250 and a slugging percentage of .278. Although these numbers might not jump off the page, his ability to get on base and make plays defensively could set the tone early for the Big Red Machine.
