How is Elly De La Cruz performing?
Elly De La Cruz is a power prospect still searching for consistency through 96 games. An 18.3% barrel rate shows he can make hard contact, but a .117 ISO and 8.3% home-run rate reveal the power hasn't translated into frequent extra-base hits. A 28.5% strikeout rate and 34% whiff rate are the real concern—he's chasing significantly more than earlier in the season. A 2.8% stolen-base rate means the speed tool remains largely unused. The raw tools are present, but plate discipline is holding back the upside.
