Reds' superstar Elly De La Cruz hit two home runs in his first two at-bats of spring training on Saturday afternoon.

After his huge game, two MLB analysts had big things to say about the Reds' shortstop.

"Elly De La Cruz is a generational talent," MLB Network's Matt Vasgersian said. "To be able to switch hit is one thing, but to hit a home run from both sides of the plate in the same day, I don't care whether it's the Grapefruit or Cactus League, the skillset amazes me."

De La Cruz finished eighth in the National League MVP voting in 2024.

"Elly De La Cruz is the most electric player in the sport," Harold Reynolds said. His skill set is electric. You can't take your eyes off him."
