Summary
Elly De La Cruz is heating up fast, crushing a 441-foot homer with 114 mph exit velocity in his rehab start — signaling he’s nearing a big-league return. Meanwhile, Reds minor leaguers lit up the scoreboard: T.J. Friedl, Hector Rodriguez, and Michael Toglia all homered in Louisville, while Jose Franco, Luis Mey, and Trevor Kuncl combined for a shutout. Dayton’s Kien Vu hit his 12th homer, and Jacob Friend is crushing it with a .300+ average and insane OPS. Mason Neville blasted two homers and drove in four in Arizona, batting over .400, while Steele Hall stole his 15th base. Across the system, from Ysaias Excalona on the mound to Angel Nunez Jr. and Nayerich Waterfort in the DSL, talent is everywhere — even in losses, guys like Jose Acuna and Tyson Lewis delivered standout moments.
