Fans everywhere can catch the electrifying Elly De La Cruz on Friday when the Reds take on the NL Central-leading Brewers. 

De La Cruz continues to dazzle in his first full year in the big leagues, buoyed by a rare combination of power and speed. Earlier this week, De La Cruz notched consecutive four-hit games against the Marlins, with six of those hits good for extra bases. Not to mention, he leads baseball with a whopping 58 stolen bases. 

"It seems like he does something new every week that nobody else has done in 100 years," De La Cruz's teammate, pitcher Nick Lodolo, told reporters Wednesday.

But De La Cruz isn't the only shortstop set to take center stage on Friday.

Milwaukee's Willy Adames is hitting his stride; earlier this week in Atlanta, Adames slugged two home runs in a 10-0 Brewers rout, and he added a double and his 20th homer of the season Thursday. Each win is imperative for Milwaukee, which entered play on Thursday six games up on the Cardinals in the NL Central.
