Elly De La Cruz is keeping incredible company in Cincinnati Reds history.
The latest list he's joined came thanks to a home run on Sunday in Detroit, his fourth consecutive game with a homer.
Only four players in Reds history have homered in four consecutive games at age 23 or younger, according to MLB's Sarah Langs.
The first was Frank Robinson back in 1959.
Then it was Johnny Bench in 1970.
And finally, Eric Davis accomplished the feat in 1984.
