Watch as Reds’ Elly De La Cruz displays a tremendous two-home run game, which includes a home shot inside the park.

Cincinnati Reds shortstop One of the most talented and dynamic players in the game, Elly De La Cruz, displayed both his speed and power on Monday night against the Milwaukee Brewers (CIN 10, MIL 8). De La Cruz hit two home runs to highlight his abilities. He led his team to victory with back-to-back monster home runs, one inside the park and the other outside the park.
The homer from outside the stadium appeared first. At Great American Ball Park, De La Cruz crushed a 450-foot home run off the batter’s eye in the fifth inning. J.B. Bukauskas used a 94 mph heater with excellent sauce to catch too much of the plate. De La Cruz wasn’t blind to it.

The 450-foot home run ranks as the fourth-longest of the current season. At the top of the list with a 473-foot bomb is the legendary Mike Trout.
After two innings, De La Cruz hit a single to center that seemed to be a standard line drive against Bryan Hudson, a lefty. However, Sal Frelick failed to make the diving grab, causing the ball to roll all the way to the warning track. There was no play at the plate as De La Cruz raced around the bases and the throw in struck the pitcher’s mound. Take note of the pace.
De La Cruz is the first player since Amed Rosario, who was then with the Cleveland Guardians, to hit both an inside-the-park and an outside-the-park home run in the same game against the Kansas City Royals on August 31, 2021. De La Cruz accomplished it by using both sides of the plate! As a right-handed hitter, he ran around the bases and struck the batter’s eye with his left hand.
All things considered, De La Cruz finished the game on Monday night with a 3-for-4 total that included two home runs, four runs scored, two runs driven in, and a stolen base. The game was his first multi-hit performance of 2024 and improved his season hitting line to.297/.366/.595 from.242/.324/.394.
When I’m sprinting the bases, I feel fantastic. That’s incredible,” De La Cruz said after the match. That excites the whole stadium, and that’s my favorite thing. The fans find that amusing. Additionally, I like it.”
