Duke Ellis, a promising baseball player, showcased his aggressive base-stealing skills during a recent game. After being hit by a pitch, Ellis immediately seized the opportunity to steal second base, demonstrating his fearless approach. He attributed his success to having 'no fear' of being picked off or thrown out. Ellis, who is drawing comparisons to Billy Hamilton, made a significant leap to secure his first career stolen base. Despite being picked off at second base later in the game, a play that went under review, his efforts were praised, and his postgame demeanor was noted as mature with a veteran presence. Manager Grifol expressed a desire for Ellis to steal third as well.
Grifol on Ellis pickoff. Wanted him to steal third https://t.co/n3v3d2liYS
Ellis was in there to steal second and third if the situation allowed. Got caught on the back pick at second. Handled the postgame with a veteran presence.
Ellis gets picked off second. The play is under review
Duke Ellis is giving me Billy Hamilton vibes.
Ellis with a huge jump gets his first career stolen base. I would not be surprised to see him go for third with a SB
Asked Duke Ellis what makes him such a good base stealer. ‘No fear. No fear of getting picked off, no fear of getting thrown out.’
This pretty much sums up Duke Ellis. He gets hit by a pitch. The lefty pitcher immediately tries to pick him off...and he just races for second and steals the base. https://t.co/5vIZTkwazr
