TL;DR Summary

Cincinnati Reds' rookie shortstop Elly De La Cruz, who hit a 458-foot home run and was timed in an MLB-best 10.93 seconds legging out a triple in his second big league game, has an almost impossible three of five tool grades of “80” on the 20-80 scale, according to one scout. The 21-year-old is projected to be a "top five" player in the bigs and is even more talented than Fernando Tatis Jr. However, the Reds may need to guard against playing kids out of position as they have too many good infielders.
