Elly De La Cruz Making Small Adjustments to His Game This Offseason
CINCINNATI — Elly De La Cruz took baseball by storm last year, helping the Reds finish with a winning record for the third time (82-80) in four seasons.
Despite hitting for the cycle and quickly becoming one of the biggest stars in the game, the 21-year-old struggled down the stretch of his first season in the big leagues.
In an interview with Mark Sheldon of MLB.com, the young star shared what he's working on this offseason
"It’s just been small adjustments that we’ve been doing. It’s more about staying back in the box and looking for my pitches," De La Cruz said. "It’s really just not swinging at the pitches the pitchers want to throw and worrying about my pitches. That’s one thing I want to get better."
De La Cruz has a chance to be one of the best players in baseball. He's electric on the base paths and is one of the most gifted athletes that we've ever seen in the big leagues.
