Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Sun Sep 22, 2024 5:07 am

Cincinnati\'s Elly De La Cruz became the youngest player in major league history to hit 25 home runs and steal 60 bases in a season during the Reds\' 7-1 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday.

De La Cruz, 22, hit the benchmark when he blasted his 25th home run of the season in the fourth inning, a three-run shot that struck the railing just below the upper-level bar in right field, to make the score 6-0. He finished the game with three hits, including a double, and four RBIs.
