Cincinnati Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz joined an exclusive group on Wednesday night when he stole his 60th base of the season.
De La Cruz, who leads baseball in steals, became just the fifth player in MLB history to have at least 20 home runs and 60 stolen bases in a single season.
\"It means a lot,\" he said. \"That\'s why I\'m working in the offseason. I feel so proud and so happy.\"
The only other players to reach the 60/20 mark are Ronald Acuna, Jr., Rickey Henderson, Eric Davis and Joe Morgan.
