Major Leagues
On June 6, 2023, De La Cruz was promoted to the major leagues for the first time following an injury to Nick Senzel; De La Cruz was the fifth-youngest NL ballplayer at 21 years of age, one of the tallest shortstops in MLB history at 6-foot-5, and one of the fastest ballplayers in baseball.[16][17][18][19] Teammate Joey Votto said: "He's the best runner I've ever seen, and he has the most power I've ever seen. And he has the strongest arm I've ever seen."[20] On June 7, he hit his first major league home run, a 458-foot shot.[21] In a game against the Atlanta Braves on June 23, he hit for the cycle; he became the youngest player to do so since César Cedeño in 1972.[22] On July 8, he became the first Reds player since Greasy Neale in 1919 to steal second, third and home in the same inning.[23] On July 16, he broke the Statcast record for fastest infield assist with a throw reaching 97.9 miles per hour.[24] While he played only 30 games prior to the All Star Game, his maxium exit velocity was in the 98th percentile in MLB, he was the fastest player in the league (30.5 ft/sec sprint speed), and he had the strongest arm of any infielder (average 95.6 mph).[25]

Aber: Erstens waren die Portionen wirklich so groß wie draußen auf den Werbe-Kunst-Dingern. Und zweitens galt das auch für diese 20 Zentimeter lange Riesengarnele. Die konnte ich mit den Stäbchen kaum heben.

Und weil ich hier wirklich nahezu ALLES* esse - bei Garnelen heißt das inklusive Kopf und Schwanz - habe ich mir bei dem Riesen-Knusper-Kopf fast die Zähne geschrottet. Beim Schwanz hab ich dann kapituliert.


* Wenn ich schonmal hier bin und bezahlt isch bezahlt.
