Elly De La Cruz did not appreciate the Nationals asking what was on his bat.
Elly De La Cruz added some flair to his latest feat during his show-stopping rookie season.
The electric Cincinnati rookie third baseman had the knob handle of his bat checked by umpires during the second inning of the Reds’ 9-2 blowout win over the Nationals on Wednesday night in Washington. Just three innings later, he blasted a 455-foot moonshot to right field, gesturing toward the handle of his bat as he seemed to tell the Nationals dugout to check it again.
After a lengthy discussion between umpires in the second inning about whether or not De La Cruz could keep the knob handle on his bat, the crew ultimately decided to let him leave it on.
