Elly De La Cruz dazzles in debut, Reds beat Dodgers on Matt McLain walk-off

Elly De La Cruz was called up to the majors earlier on Tuesday when Nick Senzel hit the injured list, and the most ridiculously talented prospect in the sport wasted little time in putting his complete game on display. He showed off elite sprint speed after coaxing an impressive walk in his first trip to the plate, smoked a 112 mph laser of a double in his next, and even showed off his cannon of an arm on a grounder while playing 3B.

That 112 mph double, for the record, is the hardest hit ball by any Red so far this season.
