Elly is hitting a cool .222 in August after a blistering .238 in July. 

91 K’s in 266 PA.  Talented but raw player.   I’d still bet on him to be an all star level player in a year or two, once he figures things out.

Watching baseball with the Orioles filter but appreciating all its most exciting players, the basic fact of Elly de la Cruz for me is that he is younger than Gunnar Henderson.

In his first ~750 PA, he has 27 HR and 72 SB, which about matches my memory of peak Cincinnati Red Eric Davis.

Couple weeks ago Harold Reynolds was breaking down his (lack of) basestealing form to a person being surprised by a bee as they take off.    If he ever gets the Harold Reynolds, Dave Roberts, Joe Morgan stuff right....

Gunnar and Elly bonding when BAL visited CIN was a cool game recognizes game moment.
