[he’s the youngest player to steal 3 bases in an inning in the live ball era (since 1920). He’s 21.](https://twitter.com/espn/status/1677819001215361026?s=46&t=Y_KXHBgeHwLgY9UkD4KA1A)

That’s impressive, although 2 pitches is generous since it looks like he didn’t steal on the swinging strike when he was on second.
This is the second time in not that long that I’ve seen a runner steal home so brazenly and the pitcher just stand there.
Maybe I can’t count, but wasn’t that 3 pitches?
That’s some Willie Mays Hayes shit
Dude just popped off on the infield
Dude can burn, if he keeps it up and can hit, at only 21 he may have a shot at Rickey’s record which most people think is completely unbreakable.
Edit: I didn’t say it would be easy to break, but Elly has the physical skills to do it if he can stay healthy and valuable as a hitter. I am a lifelong A’s fan so I never want to see Rickey’s record go down, but that’s also kind of boring. Baseball is all about breaking difficult records.
Heard about this guy last week, and he’s already my favorite player. What a stud
His immediate awareness and then reaction was so fast. This was beautiful to watch and I’ll be looking up more angles. I don’t like watching baseball much but there is someone I want to pay attention to. Just wow.
Was in St Louis a few weeks ago and had a chance to see this guy’s first game in the pros for like $5. Got a $7 thing of custard and drove back to Iowa instead. I have mixed feelings about it because that custard was fucking amazing but this guy seems electric. The choices we make.
I’ll fuckin do it again
This is one of the best baseball things I’ve ever seen. I have a new favorite player!
I’m so glad teams are starting to manufacture runs again. So tired of this boring-ass “swing for the fences every atbat” mentality. There’s so much more to the game.
And he has a ton of power. The Reds signed him 3 years ago for $50,000. What a time to be a Reds fan!
Dude is a legend already. He also pointed out Votto missing home plate on his HR, got the Ball IQ as well lol.
Let’s not overlook that there were two outs and two strikes, and he got on first with a single and the go ahead RBI. The opposing pitcher managed two pitches before dude stole three bases. I’d argue that’s as good as anybody has ever done it.
I was at that game just because I wanted to see this kid play. Walked away very impressed. That dude is a baller.
This guy is like a Willie Mayes regen wtf.
Finally my reds have a truly electric player! Only a few months into his MLB career he has hit for the cycle and stolen all 3 bases in a row. Truly unbelievable, let’s go reds!
does anyone have the pitcher’s view? I’m wondering what he’s doing while he’s stealing home? does he have the ball the whole time and turning his back on him?
Now steal 1st and I’ll be REALLY impressed
I haven’t watched baseball in about 20 years but that put a big smile on my face.
Stealing second shows his speed. Stealing third and home shows that the other team isn’t paying attention. And honestly, the deserve it for playing the thirdbaseman at shortstop. I hope more speedsters do it.
Doing this in the majors is so insanely impressive it’s not even funny
I only kind of know the rules and care about baseball just enough to know that THIS IS FUCKING AMAZING HOLY FUCK!!
Hits for the cycle, and steals for the cycle
Get you someone who can do it all
Now I’m singing Paradise by the Dashboard Light
How often do people steal home?
