Elly De La Cruz's 100th Career Stolen Base: A Milestone for the Rising Star

An Accomplishment to Celebrate

On Sunday, August 13, 2023, Cincinnati Reds outfielder Elly De La Cruz stole his 100th career base, becoming the youngest player in Major League Baseball history to reach the milestone.

De La Cruz, who is just 21 years old, has quickly established himself as one of the most exciting young players in the game.

A Rare Feat

Reaching 100 stolen bases is a rare accomplishment, and De La Cruz is only the 12th player in MLB history to do so before turning 22.

He is also the first player to steal 100 bases before his 22nd birthday since Hall of Famer Rickey Henderson did it in 1980.

A Bright Future

De La Cruz's 100th stolen base is just the latest in a long line of accomplishments for the young outfielder.

He was named the National League Rookie of the Year in 2022, and he is on pace to have another outstanding season in 2023.

With his speed, power, and defensive prowess, De La Cruz has the potential to be one of the best players in baseball for many years to come.
