Elly De La Cruz might be the most athletic player in baseball next to Mookie

[Motife43]

We got a real, live one Cincy bruhs

Plus yall got Hunter Greene, black excellence!

Baseball really in a good spot going forward the next few years. Elly is amazing to watch, Acuna is great, Corbin Carrol has become one of the best hitters in the league as a rookie, Randy Arozarena is exciting to watch, Julio Rodriguez, Bo Bichette, Yordan Alvarez and Wander Franco

Baseball has the best athletes playing in a while and it's very fun to watch. Used to be power or speed and these young guys bringing both and playing premium defensive positions.

No mention of Ohtani?

You bring up lebron when talking about the best young players in the NBA?

The players I mentioned are under 25 and position players. But the thread appreciates you stating the obvious

Baseball is really hard to market nowadays with oversaturation. People don't really watch nba season because it's 80 games long and baseball is twice as much.

It's also tough to create constant narratives because even on a great baseball team there just isn't enough superstars to make sttorylines appeal to the audience. There's also influx of advanced stats that I don't think casual fans will ever get or accept. Even as something as mild as OPS or launch angle/exit velocity


Even historic rivalries that always were an easy sell don't resonate as well as before. Giants just beat the shyt out of the Dodgers sweeping them with a historic beatdown. Yet even in local bay area papers Draymond opting out takes the first three headlines.

I understand the NBA regular season ratings have dropped a bit with that said all these national shows on ESPN/FS1 will talk , debate & feature the NBA throughout the whole entire year and spend damn near no time on MLB

It's Elly, Acunas and Tatis.......

Tatis hasn't been getting promoted as much since he got popped for roids but he was doing wild shyt like tagging up on a pop up to 2nd base

Tatis, all things being equal, probably is the best player in the national league.

 

[#1 pick]

Elly is the big ticket but Ronnie is the show

These Reds mfers good

Cruz hits the ball harder than anyone since they began tracking data in the late 2000s.

It’s obscene what he can do if he catches it right.

This is a good game!
