Elly De La Cruz achieved a rare milestone Friday when he recorded his 30th steal of the season, joining an exclusive group in Reds history. De La Cruz is now the fourth Cincinnati player to reach the 30-30 club, per multiple outlets.
De La Cruz joins Eric Davis, Barry Larkin, and Brandon Phillips as the only Reds players to accomplish the feat, according to ESPN. Yahoo Sports noted that his 30th steal puts him in rare air alongside Larkin specifically.
Yahoo Sports also reported that the Reds lost Friday's game after blowing a large lead late in the contest. De La Cruz, described by one outlet as the hottest hitter in baseball, reached this milestone on the same day Cincinnati suffered the loss.
