Elly De La Cruz, one of the game's most electric prospects, is on his way to the majors. You want him. If he's still unattached in your league(s), go get him right now before continuing to scroll.
De La Cruz has a weapons-grade arm, too. Just a spectacular prospect, particularly for fantasy purposes. He produced 68 extra-base hits and 47 steals in the minors last season, vaulting into the top 10 on pretty much every prospect list.
De La Cruz has definitely made strides this season in terms of patience and plate discipline, as his walk rate has nearly doubled and his K-rate is down slightly. But we can't ignore the fact that he struck out 158 times last year across two levels; he's not exactly a lock to hit for average as a 21-year-old big-league rookie.
Still, we're talking about a thrilling power/speed prospect with extreme fantasy upside. Add him wherever you can.The team certainly knows how to showcase an ascending star.
