Hiii is there anything we know about the dagger squad backgrounds that’s canon? Other than Jake being from Texas, is the stuff about what they studied/where they’re from headcanon? THANK U MUCH LOV
we don’t really know that much i don’t think but a majority of the background info i’ve found is either vaguely mentioned in the film or the paramount draft script you can find online ! bradley being a poli sci major at UVA and graduating in ‘09 is canon (and also very dear to me bc that was my major too plus i also graduated hs at 17 bc we are both #junebabies :]), jake originally got his call sign because bradley gave it to him and he hated it at first, bradley played baseball as a kid, mickey is a trekkie and also catholic or at least raised catholic (he crosses himself before they launch on the mission in the draft script), harvard and yale were the only duo that came from the same squadron together before the movie, and bradley and jake and natasha were in top gun together at the same time. there’s probably more backstory you could piece together for everyone by looking at their service medals/ribbons they wear but i fear i am not knowledgeable enough about that sort of stuff without a lot more research. they all mostly have the same ones but natasha has a NATO medal, jake has a navy unit commendation ribbon, and reuben has a joint service achievement medal.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
also silly canon details that aren’t background info but i still love: jake wears what i’m pretty sure is a class ring on his right ring finger, he’s also the only trainee i recall seeing actually wear his tags, he likes van halen and foghat and seems to be a classic rock fanatic, natasha wears a plain gold band on her left index finger, mickey, reuben, natasha, and bob all use those multicolor clicky pens, bradley is i think the only one of the main squad who doesn’t have the fingertips cut off his flight gloves, halo’s tank top has her squadron logo on it during the football scene, and those stupid jorts bradley wears were definely just jeans he cut the legs off himself 😭.

DCXDP prompt
Ok, so there's plenty of Danny laying low or freaking out about the no meta rule, but I have this CRAVING of someone for once just explaining it to him? Like whoever bird or birds he's talking to just leans in and whispers "Wanna know a secret? That's mostly just a mind control precaution. I mean would you want to see Supes jacked up on fear gas? If the league do come over he prefers to be called first so he's close if something happens."   
Danny- "Oh... yeah that makes sense actually, that shit isn't fun to be under.."
"Wait is THAT why you have that string of robberies on your record?!"
"That and the time my whole town got possessed in order to make me look bad and get arrested.."
The bird then drags Danny into the cave to open Bruce's file on him, and they both sit down and fill in the gaps on the shadier spots of his record. Heck Danny eventually gives Bats a few thermoses and other less harmful but still disabling device blueprints to add to the contingency file cause even if Dan is in therapy and on probation he knows his shit luck will probably make it needed sooner rather than later and he knows how fast it will go bad.
It comes in very handy at the next gala when Vlad attempts to have a duplicate overshadow Bruce who refuses to take his business propositions. Vlad gets nosey before Danny pulls up his king rights and makes vlad take an Oath (the magic binding kind) to not mess with Bruce or his family or reveal any of their super identities to anyone at all. Constantine is there beforehand to read over the contract and outthink any loopholes before vlad can take advantage of them.
Danny gives them samples of ecto-dejecto for medical emergencies, the Bat's keep them refreshed and in stock especally after they meet Ellie and hear about her stability problems. With help from Frostbite and Danny's ok they start working on a more reliable formula just for Ellie's sake.
Yes Jason is calmer around the halfas and he is slowly stabilizing enough form a proper core from it, (not an instant fix this time!) whether hes becoming a true halfa, more towards a remnant, or both they arent sure. But one night when the phantoms arent around Jason is having a bad time, reacting from something he was hit with during a fight. Tim just grabs one of the ecto-pens on a whim and it just flushes out the toxin so fast Jay passes out. When he wakes up his core has had a good growth spurt, its still not complete yet but he's beginning to get some minor abilities, the Phantom sibs start coaching him before it gets strong enough for Jason to turn completely intangible and if Jay starts complaining? Clockwork whisks them ALL up to the tower for a home movie night of Danny's greatest fails. Grampa has a collection, good and bad XD. Yes Danny is cringing in shame while eating Clockwork's ecto cookies but Jason is slowly starting to understand the importance of getting the basics right cause he does NOT want to accidentally sink completely under the ground without being able to get back out no thank you!!
What core type would he get anyway? Shadow's like Johnny because of the stealth perks? Earth to prevent being buried again? Would he have literature as a secondary obsession cause obviously he's gonna follow Danny into the family/protection category but since Danny also has a space obsession why not?
He puts Jazz's name in the list of superhero safe therapists, the fact she's already making waves at Arkam is only boosting her reputation. Especially once they read her paper on ghost obsessions and how sometimes they are comparable to hyper-fixations in autistics in the way they both satisfy and promote healthy growth for a ghosts physical and mental state but also how being deprived of them or forced to go against them can be severely harmful to their literal health.
And that was one thing the birds kept tripping on to understand whenever they needed to bench one of the halfas but they would end up just hovering around NEEDING to be helpful no mater how much they are told to go back to bed. They also get a whole new understanding on what happened to Dan cause yeah his whole timeline is based on loosing his family and retaliating out of grief.
So from then on the halfas are allowed to help with little tasks as long as they do not strain their recovery at all. Whenever Danny gets sickly and depressed they take him up to the watch tower, Ellie gets lessons in different languages so she can interact more when they let her join them on international trips, Jason gets set loose in a newly discovered bookstore when the manor's or Bab's library isn't enough, and Dan.. they're still figuring him out but he seems to enjoy wrecking little play city set ups and games where you play as the monster like Godzilla or Rampage along with general ghost sibling rough housing. (Lilo and Stitch is his favorite movie but you'd be hard pressed to get him to admit it,)
As for ships, definitely anger management. Jason becomes an unofficial fourth Phantom sib. Platonic everlasting trio cause Danny loves his friends and they will pet him like a cat for hours while his tail coils around them possessively like a giant snake and still make memes of it when he's grumpy. Brain dead is fun also, especially if Danny or the others are capable of Little Baby Man form and Tim has to fight Damian for cuddle rights! Bats has his usual girls but hey superman isn't that bad to hang around either.

Mending a Family 32/?
Prev | Next
My depression 🎶 I came in like a wrecking ball🎶
In all honesty, I'm sorry for taking so long to update and for such a short chapter. Depression really has been kicking me in the ass. I'm sorry if it's not up to my usual standard. I'll try to update again this week as I want to write a Thanksgiving chapter.
“And you’ll call if anything comes up, right?”
Jason rolled his eyes at his sister.
“Yes, Jazz, I’ll call if anything comes up. I can take care of both Ellie and Danny just fine. Go have fun with Raven; enjoy your girl time.”
Raven had come up with the idea of girl time with Jazz. Jazz had reluctantly agreed.
“Remember, Ellie, don’t act out for Uncle Jay.”
The little girl grinned, showing her new tooth. Jazz sighed.
“Relax, Jazz. I have this and have some fun.”
Jazz nodded and kissed Ellie’s forehead and then Danny’s. She went up to her car, where Raven was already waiting.
Raven wore a black blouse, jeans, and a blonde wig as a disguise. She had put a glamour around herself so no one could pinpoint features.
Jason and the kids waved as the car drove away. When the car was out of sight, they entered the house.
“Alright, kiddos, what should we do?”
They ended up making cupcakes. Danny did the mixing while Jason pre-heated the oven and measured the ingredients. Ellie helped by licking the homemade frosting clean from the spoon. Contentment filled the kitchen as they made the cupcakes.
They ended up gorging themselves on cupcakes.
“Do not tell Jazz I let you guys eat that many cupcakes.”
Both kids nodded as they licked their lips and fingers. Hmm, bath time was in order. Danny still refused to let Jason bathe him, so he took a quick shower by himself while Jason bathed Ellie in the sink. He made sure the bathroom door was opened to keep an ear out for Danny.
After the shower, they played and flew around a bit outside. Jason didn’t like transforming, so he was glad he could access his basic powers without them. Jason felt his core hum, content with the laughter of children.
Jason felt something deep in his chest, and when he opened his mouth, he was surprised to hear a chirp come out.
Both children stopped flying around and came up to Jason, chirping.
Jason had no idea what was happening but chirped alongside the little half-ghosts. Eventually, they tired of chasing each other around.
“Danny, what was that,” Jason asked as they lay on the grass.
“I don’t know, it’s something ghosts do with their parents or close family members. I know it comes from the core, but very little else. Maybe Ghost Writer would know more.”
Huh, he’d have to ask the other ghost when Jason went to buy books next time.
They fell asleep on the grass with the sun beating down on them. Jazz and Raven found them later when they returned from their girl trip.
Jazz couldn’t help but take a picture of all three of them while she and Raven giggled.
Jason woke up to laughter. He opened his eyes to his two sisters, trying to stay quiet as they watched all three of them.
“Hey guys,” Jason said, his voice thick with sleep, “how was the trip?”
“It was good. We went to Ghost Writer’s bookstore.”
“It was nice,” Raven said, “I found a lot of spell books I had never seen before.”
She jiggled a bag she had for emphasis.
“That’s great. What else did you do?”
Jazz picked Ellie up, and Danny was starting to stir, too.
“Jazz, you’re back! Guess what, guess what? Daddy chirped for the first time today!”
“Did he now?” Jazz asked at the same time as Raven asked, “Chirped?”
Jason flushed a bit as Jazz cooed at him a bit while Raven demanded that he do it again.
“No,” Jason whined.
“C’mon, do it for your big sister.”
Danny, the traitor, chirped a greeting, and Jason automatically responded.
“Wow, it really is chirping,” Raven said.
Jazz had the camera phone out and recorded the little exchange. Jason sighed, defeated. Well, he’d get over the light ribbing.
“Can you do it again?”
Jason rolled his eyes and let out chirps of indignation. Raven laughed while Jazz smiled.
What was his life? He used to be a feared crime lord/vigilante. Now, he was being cooed over as he chirped like a bird.
Well, he wouldn’t trade any of this for the world.
Hope you enjoyed the chirps

Over
Fandom: One Chicago
Character: Ellie Halstead, Jay Halstead, Hailey Upton, Will Halstead, Kim Burgess, Hank Voight, Greg 'Mouse' Gerwitz (briefly mentioned)
Summary: Ellie can't keep her emotions in when her name starts trending badly and needs her siblings to be there for her.
Warnings: Viral hate, mean tweets, sad Ellie, I think that's it?
Tumblr media
Ellie smiled as her security opened the door to the studio she would be recording at that day. Jay and Will had been on her constantly about using her security everywhere she went, especially while at the studio. Jay insisted he couldn’t always be there to make sure the crazier fans kept their distance, so he’d hired what he considered the best of the best to make sure his little sister was always protected.
“Hey, Jack.” She greeted her producer as she walked in and set her bags on the couch.
He was silent, which was unusual, so she turned and stared at his shocked face.
“Do I have something on my face?” She wondered aloud.
He shook his head. “You haven’t seen it?”
Her stomach dropped, wondering if something had happened to Jay or Will. “Tell me the guys are okay.”
He nodded immediately. “It’s not them, Ellie.”
The blonde took out her phone and instantly dropped to the couch. She hadn’t looked at it once since leaving her apartment that morning and now saw what he was talking about.
She scrolled on her phone for a bit before dropping it to the floor and putting her head in her hands. Then she cried.
Jay sighed as he and Hailey walked back into the bullpen from the interrogation they had just done. “This guy’s giving us nothing.”
He was met with silence and when the couple looked up, they found the whole squad looking at them sadly.
“What happened?” Hailey asked, looking at Kim who was closest to them.
The brunette bit her lip and turned her computer around so they could see the screen. “It started a little while ago and gained traction from there. It’s the number one trending topic worldwide…”
She trailed off as they looked at the messages on the screen.
“THIS IS THE END. @elle.belle.13 #EllieHalsteadIsOverParty”
“Ellie Halstead has been over since she joined pop music. #EllieHalsteadIsOverParty”
“I HATE ELLIE HALSTEAD AND I’M PROUD AF #ELLIEHALSTEADISOVERPARTY”
“If I never hear another Ellie Halstead song, I’d be pretty happy. #EllieHalsteadIsOverParty”
“#EllieHalsteadIsOverParty just because she has tons of awards and money, that can’t change an ugly personality.”
“Ellie Halstead is very overrated. #EllieHalsteadIsOverParty”
“Now that #EllieHalsteadIsOverParty is a thing, can we finally accept that Kanye DID make her famous”
“#EllieHalsteadIsOverParty GIIIIIIRRRLL I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS”
“she’s really trying tho, but too late…you’ve been EXPOSED #EllieGotExposedParty #EllieHalsteadIsOverParty”
“It’s finally happening! I’ve been waiting years for it… #EllieHalsteadIsOver #elliehalsteadisoverparty
Jay felt his knees weaken and saw Hailey’s jaw drop as they read the comments about his sister being shared all over the internet. “How bad is this?”
“Go to your sister, Jay.” Voight told him in lieu of a response, a hard expression set on his face. “She’s going to need you.”
The detective nodded. “Can I-”
“Take Hailey with you.” Voight said immediately, knowing Ellie would probably need her sister-in-law as well as her brothers.
Without another word, the detectives grabbed their coats and hurried from the room, leaving their friends upset and shocked behind them.
The minute they walked in the door, Hailey’s face fell. “Oh, honey.”
Ellie paced back and forth pulling at her hair as tears streamed down her red face. “This is…this is…”
“Hey.” Will, who the detective had picked up along the way, moved forward and grabbed her in a hug. “It’s going to be okay, El. Who cares what some people online think?”
Jay winced. “Will…”
The blonde singer pulled away and stared at him. “Some people? Will, this is everywhere! Do you know how many people have to be tweeting about you to become a trending topic worldwide?”
The doctor just looked at her sadly as she deflated and dropped back onto the couch. Immediately, Jay walked over and sat on the table in front of her, his arms resting on his knees as he leaned forward. Hailey and Will stood behind him.
Ellie sniffled but couldn’t stop the tears from escaping her eyes. “This is all so messed up. I’m just like every other musician, you know?”
Jay nodded. “I know.”
He wanted to say more but knew she needed to let out her feelings, so he didn’t elaborate.
“We’re people who got into this line of work because we wanted people to like us.” She blurted out. “Because we were intrinsically insecure. Because we liked the sound of people clapping ‘cause it made us forget how much we feel like we’re not good enough.
“And I’ve been doing this for fifteen years, and I’m just…I’m tired of it. I’m just tired of the…just…it just feels like it’s more than music now at this point. And, just, most days, I’m like ‘okay’. But then sometimes, I’m just like…”
Now she looked Jay in the eyes. “It just gets loud sometimes.”
“Ellie…” He had no words.
Luckily his wife did and moved to sit next to her on the couch. “Come here, hon.”
“When…when…people…when people decide they hate you…” Ellie choked out through her sobs. “There’s nothing…nothing…you can…can do to make them change…their minds.”
Hailey nodded. “I know, honey.”
She pulled the younger girl into her arms and together they cried for all of the hate that she was getting that she didn’t deserve. Hailey didn’t try to push her or speak at all. She just held her and cried with her as the boys watched on in sad silence.
When the tears had dried over ten minutes later, Hailey pulled Ellie down to lay her head in her lap. Then she stroked her hair lightly, hoping to soothe the aches and pains that the world had created for her that day.
Jay’s eyes were pink when his wife looked up at him, which was a tell-tale sign that he had also been crying. “Do you have your phone?”
He nodded, knowing what she was requesting. He stood and walked away a bit, trying to get through to the one other person his sister really needed in that moment. Then he walked back over after several minutes and placed the phone to her ear.
“Hey, doll…”
As Ellie sniffed and talked to her fiancé, Jay sighed and looked at Will. “Do you think she’ll be okay?”
The redhead nodded. “With time…yeah, I think she will.”
And though it took a year off and several albums, the boys watched with pride during her massive Eras Tour concert as she serenaded their hometown with the songs she created out of that heartbreak and knew for sure, she was better than fine.
She was on top of the world.

Migration Patterns snippet
“Dick,” Tim slurred, “Make Elle ask for your blessing.”   Busy gently removing the mask from his face and unclipping the cape Elle had failed to budge in the slightest, Dick mostly swallowed his laugh. “My blessing for what, Timbo.”   He groaned, as light actually reached his eyes. Flung his arm over his face and said matter of factually, “Kon doesn’t want me. Jason doesn’t want Ellie. Going to get married and ‘ake back the the company. Sexy affairs. Elle can be a hot widow. Everybody wins.”   There wasn’t even a pause in Dick’s steady disassembling of Tim’s suit, pulling off various belts and pieces of interlocking armor, but he looked at Elle.   Eleanor decided she was very, very interested in the view out the window.   The rest of the strip down process involved taking a blood sample, listening as Tim noted his five point plan for their loveless charade of a marriage, and an aside about that fact that if Jason tried to kill him it would be fine- he’d already had a shot and it hadn’t stuck.   Elle actually climbed out the window onto the fire escape, at that point.   Was still, numbly, looking up at the light-polluted sky, when Dick landed soundlessly beside her.   “Thought you didn’t like heights.”   “Hate them,” Elle admitted, sleeves pulled down tight over her cold, cold hands. “Would this be a good time to state for the record that I am not, and have no intention of ever, ever dating Tim?”   Dick folded himself down beside her. Wrapped his arms around his knees and then tangled his hands together too, hunched against encroaching winter. It didn’t dim the horrible kindness palpable from his smile, here in late Autumn’s dark predawn.   “I guessed that, yeah.” He bumped her shoulder, a light, glancing sway.  Grinned enormously. “Have actually seen you around Jay. And I’ve seen him look at you.”   Better than Elle had gotten, recently.

your glee/degrassi posts made me curious: which degrassi characters do you think are similar to the glee characters? i'd compare spinner and puck for example.
Oof not sure now I feel about that lmao. I have sooo many wildly fluctuating thoughts on Spinner that they all kind of average out into "he was ok" lmao. God honestly Spinner vibes for Finn more than Puck like aww I was a big dumb loser with no direction in high school, guess I'll become a cop/join the army (: I mean Puck too lowkey but that was just doubly dumb bc he was basically doing it for Finn like ?? calm down alksjfsdklgs
Plus there's so many more Degrassi characters than Glee characters so I feel like one Gleek is worth six Degrassians lmao
First of all Finn and Rachel want what Jay and Manny have, let's just say that. Super talented destined for stardom singer actor girl and her bf who works on cars and plays drums?? Janny outsold
Also with Jay and Alex I get Pucktana vibes. The ultimate lesbro lmao
Also Brittana are Palex and i dont ship either of them like the seemingly dark and brooding Latina lesbian with the soft spot for the preppy blonde bi cheerleader... Those dynamics look familiar
Quinn, I hate to do it to her, but a little Becky a little Darcy... Churchy good girl with the shitty parents who are oblivious to her struggles. Maybe also a little Jenna just for the teen mom thing but Puck could never and would never stoop so low to be a KC. Maybe also a little Fiona for Quinn??
Umm Karofsky and Riley are the same character. I think the only reason I like one and hate the other is bc Max could act :| Sorry bout it
I already went on record saying that Miles Hollingsworth is just fanon Sebastian Smythe alksjfslkfjs
Mercedes and Liberty a very little bit?? Mainly when it comes to Rachel/Emma & Manny acting like they were always such close besties when it's like ?? 75% of the time yall were hating on her!! Umm Terry for superficial body image issues lol. And ugh I don't know how I feel about this but maybe a little Clare?? Like in regards to keeping her faith and her relationship to sex etc etc
Actually I can very clearly see Kurt and Finn as Marco and Spinner bc I imagine s1 Finn would rather choke to death on a piece of food than let a gay guy give him the heimlich <3
Oh duh Kurt and Tristan. bc Finn and Owen (: But also bc they both have very theatrical personalities and similar arcs with body image issues and also they're both iconic
Artie is like JT and Toby's son idk
Kitty gives me early Holly J mixed with early Becky vibes
Tina maybe. Ellie and Ashley vibes :x I'm sorry alskfjslkfhs. And also superficially Leia in that they are both Asian and the show didn't care about them (:
Brittany is Lola (derogatory)
Whew that feels like a lot lmao but that's all the ones I can think of right now!! Lmk what you think!

‘DAY OF RECKONING’ ANNOUNCED FOR DECEMBER 23 AS RIYADH SEASON WELCOMES ANTHONY JOSHUA, DMITRY BIVOL, AND JAI OPETAIA FOR HISTORIC NIGHT OF BOXING
Anthony Joshua will headline a historic night of boxing in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as he faces a ‘Day of Reckoning’ on Saturday, December 23  - along with world champions Dmitry Bivol and Jai Opetaia.  His Excellency Turki Alalshikh, Chairman of the General Entertainment Authority (GEA), announced today that Riyadh Season 2023 will play host to the ‘Day of Reckoning’, featuring some of the most famous boxing world champions and leading contenders from the top weight divisions at Kingdom Arena. An unprecedented line-up on a single night of boxing, the ‘Day of Reckoning’ will see two-time unified World Heavyweight Champion Anthony Joshua go up against Otto Wallin as the pair close in on challenging for World Title honours, while former WBO World Champion Joseph Parker takes on the ‘Bronze Bomber’ and former WBC World Title holder, Deontay Wilder, with IBF No.1 contender Filip Hrgovic fighting Mark De Mori in another Heavyweight shootout. His Excellency Turki Alalshikh, Chairman of the General Entertainment Authority (GEA), said: “The ‘Day of Reckoning’ fights constitute the highly anticipated event offered by Riyadh Season for boxing fans this year. It brings together a number of world boxing champions in groundbreaking bouts." Matchroom Sport chairman Eddie Hearn said: “We are delighted to be returning to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for Riyadh Season and for what will ultimately be a historic event for our sport. I would like to thank His Excellency Turki Alalshikh for providing us with this fantastic opportunity. Anthony Joshua needs no introduction. He has his sights set firmly on becoming a three-time World Heavyweight Champion and I believe you will witness yet another memorable performance from AJ on December 23 when he faces Otto Wallin. Both Dmitry Bivol and Jai Opateia have chances to showcase their world class talents on a major stage and we look forward to exploring big fights in the Kingdom for both boxers with Queensberry, Goldstar and the NEC in the near future. Bivol will once more underline why he is one of the greatest pound-for-pound fighters on the planet when he collides with Lyndon Arthur and reigning IBF Cruiserweight king Jai Opetaia will undoubtedly deliver an incredible, destructive display against Ellis Zorro. I cannot wait. It will be a special spectacle for fight fans all over the world and an extravaganza not to be missed." Two-time World Heavyweight Champion Anthony Joshua said: "I said at the start of this year that my plan was to begin my journey of activity. Three fights in 12 months two victories and one pending. I am grateful to his Excellency Turki Alalshikh for the opportunity to fulfil my plan. I am fully focussed on December 23 and finishing the year in good fashion. It will be an incredible night of world class boxing.” WBA World Light-Heavyweight Dmitry Bivol said: “I have just recently come back from a great event in Saudi Arabia and now I will have the opportunity to fight there. I am excited and looking forward to fighting Lyndon, his record and his belt are a motivation for me.” IBF and Ring Magazine World Cruiserweight Champion Jai Opetaia said: “There’s a big part of me that’s so grateful to be part of this card but I’ve earned my spot here and on December 23 I will show why I’m the best Cruiserweight in the world and the king of the division. Now I’ve got to train hard and it doesn’t matter who is put in front of me, I have to beat them. I have a new mission, so let’s get it done. I’m ready. This is what I do.” The ‘Day of Reckoning’ comes after the ‘Battle of the Baddest’, which was held on October 28 during the opening of Riyadh Season 2023, in which Tyson Fury defeated Francis Ngannou. The fourth edition of Riyadh Season, themed "Big Time," offers many entertainment options and experiences. It continues to attract visitors from across the globe to Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, during the winter months, providing them with the opportunity to partake in thousands of concerts, exhibitions, and other distinctive entertainment events. Notable celebrities and prominent international brands contribute to the grandeur of this occasion. Tickets for events and experiences in the zone can be reserved through the WeBook application by accessing the following link: http://onelink.to/wbkapp

Elly-Mania: Cincinnati Reds rookie sensation Elly De La Cruz
Tumblr media
Elly-Mania: Cincinnati Reds rookie sensation Elly De La Cruz. Anyone who follows the Reds can attest there has been a buzz around the team since his arrival. Even Elly had to make sure the California Angel’s Shohei Ohtani was real. Photo: Courtesy of Cincinnati Reds of Major League Baseball Who is Elly De La Cruz Elly De La Cruz, 21, is a professional baseball infielder - shortstop and third baseman - for the Cincinnati Reds. He signed as an international free agent with the Cincinnati Reds of Major League Baseball in 2018.  Then, on June 6, 2023, De La Cruz made his long-awaited debut. He is being billed as the Reds' most anticipated major-league debut since at least Jay Bruce 15 years ago. Elly De La Cruz, affectionately known around the Reds clubhouse as "La Cocoa," went unnoticed in 2018 and 2019. Just the same, the Reds wunderkind and his exciting talents are taking baseball by storm this season. In his seven weeks in the big leagues, the switch-hitting, hard-throwing phenom has proven to be one of baseball's most exciting talents and best young players.  De La Cruz's impressive abilities can inflict harm on opposing teams at any time. He ranks in the 99th percentile of MLB players in sprint speed and the 96th percentile in max velocity. He ranks in the 98th percentile in arm strength and 98th percentile in top exit velocity of his bat ball.  DOWNLOAD THE URBT NEWS APP Eye on the Ball In 68 games played, in which he has garnered 278 at-bats, De La Cruz has amassed 126 total bases. His total bases include 70 hits, yielding 11 doubles, six triples, and 11 home runs – only two have come right-handed. De La Cruz has batted in 50 runs and reached base on balls on 20 occasions. His six triples this season rank 3rd amongst National League players. He has also struck out 104 times, leaving De La Cruz with a batting average of .252, an on-base percentage of .303, a slugging percentage of .453, and an on-base slugging percentage of .757. De La Cruz's offensive barrage includes hiting for the cycle in only 15 Major League games, a feat not accomplished by a Reds hitter in 34 years. With his accomplishment, the Dominican outfielder became the youngest player in 51 years to accomplish this feat since Cesar Cedeno in 1972. Getting Home, One Base at a Time De La Cruz's physique may remind track and field fans of a legendary Jamaican sprinter. De La Cruz, who stands 6 feet 5 inches tall, is the same height as world-renowned sprinter Usain Bolt, who holds the world records for the 200m and 100m. During his career, Bolt's fastest speed was 27.5 mph. De La Cruz reached 21.75 mph early in his 2023 season.  The Reds rookie averages a sprint rate of slightly more than 30 feet per second, which is not the fastest in the MLB. De La Cruz was clocked at 31.9 feet per second in June 2023. Bobby Witt Jr. of the Kansas City Royals and Bubba Thompson of the Texas Rangers had the fastest average sprint speed in Major League Baseball at 30.4 feet per second.  Corbin Carroll of the Arizona Diamondbacks, De La Cruz's main competition for National League Rookie of the Year, averaged a faster sprint speed of 30.2 feet per second. "He's just a really electric player," California Angels manager Phil Nevin said of De La Cruz. And he can really run down the line." The electric De La Cruz has successfully stolen 21 bases on 27 attempts (.778). His stolen bases ranks him 14th among National League players in stolen bases. He ranks 4th in number of times caught stealing.  DOWNLOAD THE URBT NEWS APP Opened on March 31, 2003, Great American Ball Park serves as the ballpark of Major League Baseball’s Cincinnati Reds. Heart in the Game Is there anything Elly De La Cruz of the Cincinnati Reds can't do? De La Cruz has proven that he can cause havoc at any time, not just on offense. De La Cruz has started 66 games as a defensive player in 71 games. Of his 66 games started, 29 at shortstop (259.0 innings,.986 fielding percentage), 36 at third base (324.0 innings,.959 fielding percentage). He also started one game as a designated hitter. He made seven errors in 221 total chances, one at third base and six at shortstop. In baseball, total chances represents the number of plays a defensive player has participated in. In the Record Books Hall of Fame second baseman Joe Morgan, a key member of the Cincinnati Reds' famed Big Red Machine, said, "A good base stealer should make the whole infield jumpy. Whether you steal or not, you're changing the rhythm of the game. If the pitcher is concerned about you, he isn't concentrating enough on the batter." With an insatiable desire to help his team win a game, no matter the cost, De La Cruz is doing his part to change the rhythm of the game. De La Cruz is the fastest player in MLB history to reach 10 home runs and 20 stolen bases. He accomplished the milestone in 64 games. Previously, seven-time MVP Barry Bonds held the record. Bonds hit 10 home runs and stole 20 bases in 65 games. The most shocking and notable of his baserunning stats came the weekend before the 2023 All-Star break. De La Cruz stole second, third, and home after the same plate appearance. Only one other player in baseball's expansion era dating back to 1961 has accomplished this feat. Hall of Famer Rod Carew did so in 1969. De La Cruz's arm strength is almost unfathomable.  De La Cruz broke the record for the fastest throw by an infielder in the Statcast era (since 2015) on July 16, 2023, with a 97.9 mph bullet against the Milwaukee Brewers. In 2022, Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Oneil Cruz set a record of 97.8 mph.  Fernando Tatis Jr. of the San Diego Padres is third and fourth at 97.3 mph and 96.8 mph, respectively, while Cruz is fifth at 96.7 mph.
