Alex Rodriguez, a Fox baseball analyst and former Major League Baseball star, said during the network's All-Star Game pregame broadcast that Cincinnati Reds rookie phenom Elly De La Cruz should be at the Midsummer Classic at Seattle's T-Mobile Park.
Earlier this week, national host Rich Eisen and former Reds fan favorite Todd Frazier were among those tweeting that De La Cruz deserved to be an All-Star.
Bally Sports Ohio play-by-play broadcaster John Sadak talked to Eisen on Tuesday afternoon about De La Cruz.
De La Cruz, who stole second, third and home during one plate appearance against the Brewers in Milwaukee, has made a decided difference in the Reds' lineup, per The Enquirer's Gordon Wittenmyer, since joining it June 6.
