The Dominican caused a great impact since his debut against the Los Angeles Dodgers. He became known for his speed on the bases and his particular charisma. With the Cincinnati Reds he has made the Center division his emporium as we enter the second half of the season.
In mid-June, during a visit by fellow NFL QB Joe Burrow, it was revealed that he was a fan of Elly’s. The QB currently has the Cincinnati Bengals among the contenders to be on top of the North division in the AFC and Superbowl contenders. The player was at Great American Ball Park (GABP) for a batting practice and even renamed himself with the Dominican’s last name.

Elly has already managed to steal second, third and home in the same duel. He currently has 16 stolen bases (tied with Jack Fraley). In fact, the Reds have four players with double-digit steals; they are close to adding two more to reach 112 successful scams to be MLB leaders.
Statcast has him in first place as the fastest player in MLB bases. It takes him 4-14 seconds to get from home plate to first base and his sprint speed is 30.5 ft/sec.
There is no doubt that the Reds have a Flash on their team. Elly is able to distract rivals with his speed and therefore it is a double-edged sword that they will use in Ohio to break the drought without a playoffs. They will face the Milwaukee Brewers starting Friday and running through Sunday at GABP.
