Cincinnati Reds star shortstop Elly De La Cruz continues to be must-see TV for what he can do at the plate, in the field, and also on the basepaths. The best part about his game, however, is just how much fun he has playing the sport that he loves.
That was on display during Friday night's 3-2 win over the Tampa Bay Rays when he recorded the funniest force out of the MLB season.
De La Cruz, who hit the season's most ridiculous home run earlier in the week, fielded a grounder and than ran over to second to get the third out of the inning. He had some fun with it, though, as he waited for Yandy Diaz to almost get to second before tapping the bag.
Look at how close this was:
Elly De La Cruz nearly kept the inning alive on accident. 🤣
