Mandatory Credit: Katie Stratman-Imagn Images | IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters ConnectIt's become almost routine to see Elly De La Cruz make history, and Thursday against the Pirates was just the latest example. His 20th stolen base of the season made him the first player in Reds franchise history to record at least 20 stolen bases in each of his first four Major League seasons, adding another milestone to an already remarkable start to his career.De La Cruz continues to establish himself as one of baseball's best players. His 10 stolen bases in July led the majors, and with 18 home runs already this season, he's closing in on another rare achievement. If he reaches 20 home runs and 20 stolen bases, he'll become just the third player in Reds history to post three consecutive 20-20 seasons, joining Eric Davis and Brandon Phillips. His 159 career stolen bases also rank third-most by any Red through a player's first four seasons since 1900, trailing only Bob Bescher and Billy Hamilton.Add us as a preferred source on GoogleFollow
