'No other SS could make that play': Elly De La Cruz, Reds get Arizona's Carroll at home

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll, the odds-on favorite to win National League Rookie of the Year honors, tried to stretch a triple into an inside-the-park home run against the Cincinnati Reds in the bottom of the 5th inning of Sunday's series finale at Chase Field.

Bad idea.

Reds outfielder TJ Friedl, who tried to rob Carroll's drive as it hit the wall, gathered himself and threw to shortstop Elly De La Cruz. De La Cruz threw a dart 99.7 miles per hour to catcher Tyler Stephenson, who tagged Carroll out.

"No other shortstop in baseball could make that play," Bally Sports Ohio play-by-play announcer John Sadak said during the broadcast.
