Hector Gomez tweeted "Not since Fernando Tatis Jr. the Domincan Winter League has seen a player as talented with as many tools as Reds top prospect Elly De La Cruz."

Yeah, I'm blown away by Elly. Someone his size shouldn't have his power, speed, agility, athleticism, and body control.
The only issue with him is the strikeout rate and whether it will ever catch up to him as he climbs the ladder to face more advanced pitching. As of now, his freakish ability just trumps the contact/strikeout problem. I asked Keith Law about this and here is what he said:
He's probably the most gifted and toolsy Reds prospect since Eric Davis. I see some of the things that he does and I just want to tell him: "Dude, you are NOT supposed to be able to do that!"
