The Dominican player Elly De La Cruz continues to give something to talk about with his performances in Major League Baseball because, apart from his great work on defense, he continues to demonstrate that he is one of the fastest players on base running.

The one born in Sabana Grande de Boya put his foot on the accelerator and exhibited his enormous speed by scoring from second base after a bad throw by the pitcher at 30.4 ft/s, according to records from Statcast. On this occasion, the Milwaukee Brewers were given the pass by the register.

For now, the Cincinnati Reds remain in third place in the National League Central with a 35-38 record, behind the Milwaukee Brewers with a 42-30 record and the Saint Louis Cardinals with a 36-36 record.

For his part, Elly de la Cruz, in her 73 appearances with the Reds, has had 64 hits and 12 home runs, in addition to the category that characterizes her with 37 stolen bases.
