The most electric player in Cincinnati, and the mystery of the missing stolen bases
Elly De La Cruz is 24 years old, and he is having the best season of his young career at the plate: through 112 games he is hitting .262 with a .343 on-base percentage, 21 home runs, 58 RBIs and an OPS of .817, with a WAR of 3.1 that says he is winning the Reds real games. Before the season, MLB.com’s MVP poll had him as the runner-up in the entire National League, behind only Shohei Ohtani. That is the company he keeps now. In June a right hamstring strain cost him a few weeks, and he came back and kept hitting, which tells you the season is not a mirage.
Now the honest part, the thing every Reds fan is arguing about. Elly stole 67 bases in 2024, the most in baseball. This year he has 22. His sprint speed, which ranked first in the entire sport in 2023, ranks 111th this season. Nobody can fully explain it. Terry Francona’s conservative tactics get blamed, the theory that the Reds are protecting their biggest asset ahead of free agency gets blamed, and Elly himself says he is picking his spots. All three can be partly true. What is not in dispute: he turned down the largest contract offer in Reds history, betting on himself, and the franchise has never had a young star this electrifying since the days of Junior Griffey.
Below are the eleven #44 jerseys we stock today, every one in stock now. The shelf covers the full Cincinnati set, the Home and Road looks, the red Alternate, the brand-new 2026 City Connect in three cuts, the USA 250 special, and the 2024 All-Star navy. Prices are $76.99 across the board, with the Youth City Connect at $69.99. If you want one Elly jersey, or you want to own the season the debate started, this is the honest full view.
Elly De La Cruz, in a nutshell
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Who is Elly De La Cruz? | The Cincinnati Reds’ switch-hitting shortstop, who debuted in 2023 as one of the most hyped prospects in baseball. He led the majors with 67 stolen bases in 2024 and finished second in the National League Rookie of the Year voting in 2023. |
| What number does he wear? | #44, for the Reds. Every jersey in this hub carries #44. |
| How is his 2026 season going? | Through 112 games he is hitting .262 with 21 home runs, 58 RBIs and 22 stolen bases, with an .817 OPS and a WAR of 3.1. Before the season, MLB.com’s MVP poll ranked him second in the NL behind only Shohei Ohtani. |
| Why are his stolen bases down? | That is the great Cincinnati debate. His sprint speed has dropped from first in the sport in 2023 to 111th, and theories point to Francona’s conservative tactics, the team protecting its asset, and Elly picking his spots. All three may be partly true. |
| Did he sign an extension with the Reds? | No. He turned down the largest contract offer in Reds franchise history, betting on himself. He remains under team control for years, so the story is far from over. |
| Where can I see the full lineup? | The Cincinnati Reds collection holds the full team line, the MLB Jersey collection covers every team, and the custom jerseys collection lets you put any name and number on any style. |
Why shop an Elly hub at the start of the story
Three reasons. First, the 2026 City Connect on this shelf is brand new, the special edition of the season, and it comes in the Men’s, Women’s and Youth cuts, which makes it the one collector piece on the site available for the whole family. Second, the price of the story is low: this is the cheapest window you will ever get on a 24-year-old who finished behind only Ohtani in the preseason MVP poll, and every jersey on the shelf is $76.99 with the Youth at $69.99. Third, the debate itself is the fun part, the missing stolen bases, the rejected record contract, the franchise’s most electric young star since Griffey, and owning the #44 now means owning the season the argument started. The Shohei Ohtani Jersey Hub covers the only player ranked ahead of him, the MLB 2026 Season Hub has the standings picture, and our 2026 pennant race jersey guide covers the season’s big storylines.
