This is the first time since RBI became official in 1920 that one rookie was leading the majors in homers (Munetaka Murakami) and another rookie was leading the majors in RBI (Sal Stewart) entering May (including ties for the lead).

For whatever reason, too many fans seem to focus on what Elly De La Cruz isn’t, and miss what he is becoming. They focus on his future, more than his present. He’s 24-years old. He’s in his 3rd full MLB season. He’s played fewer than 450 MLB games. Right now, he’s hitting .281-.361-.563-.924 with an OPS+ of 152. He’s on pace for 30 doubles, 51 homers, 132 runs, 101 RBI, 50 stolen bases, 81 walks. That would produce the second 50/50 season in MLB history, joining Shohei Ohtani. He’s scored a run in 12 of their 16 games, collected a hit in 13 of those games, and been on base in 13 straight games. For as much as fans complain about injuries, and players not playing with injuries, Elly's played 234 consecutive games for the Reds. That's the 5th longest streak by a Red since 1970. He’s improving as a right-handed hitter, facing left-handed pitching. 2023 .184 w/ 2 HR in 122 PA 2024 .224 w/ 6 HR in 217 PA 2025 .236 w/ 5 HR in 210 PA 2026 .318 w/ 4 HR in 33 PA He’s yet to commit an error this season. I get it, official scoring isn’t what it once was. But then turn to the metrics. He’s T-3rd in Outs Above Average at +2. Last season he was T-26th (-3). He’s T-6th in defensive runs saved (+1) , after -5 in 2025. He’s getting better. He answers the bell to play every day. He’s impacting the game at the plate, in the field and on the bases. Stop worrying about his strike outs. He’s going to strike out. Everyone strikes out. Stop worrying about moving him to center field. He’s a shortstop. I offer this to every ‘move Elly' conversation: Perspective. Dave Concepcion: 30 errors age 26, 27 errors age 28 and 31. Barry Larkin: 29 errors age 24 Derek Jeter: 56 errors age 19 and 29 errors age 21 Robin Yount: 44 errors age 19, 30 errors age 22 Omar Vizquel: 25 errors age 20 and age 21 Ozzie Smith: 25 errors age 23, 22 errors age 33 Alan Trammell: 26 errors age 21 Cal Ripken: 25-25-26 errors, age 22-23-24 Young shortstops take time to learn, develop and settle into the shortstop position. And finally, stop worrying about him being a Dodger or a Yankee. He won’t even reach free agency until 2030. It’s 2026, for goodness sakes. Enjoy him. Appreciate him. He’s the best player on the #Reds. He’s one of the best players in the game.

I accidentally made the funniest list ever Most seasons in MLB history with between 40 and 47 home runs, something that five different players have each done at least six times It's four of the greatest inner-circle, god-tier hitters that ever lived... and Adam F––ing Dunn

Brad Underwood started his career at Dodge City (Ks.) Community College. Three years Dayton Beach CC. Took 27 years to get his first Division I head coaching job. Now he is taking Illinois to its first Final Four since 2005. March is for the dreamers.

Florida's 59-point win over Prairie View A&M is the second largest winning margin in tournament history. The record remains Loyola Chicago's 111-42 win over Tennessee Tech in 1963.

The full-court press is where Louisville has lived for most of its history. To watch this level of struggle against one now is difficult to take in.
