Cincinnati Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz had an expensive spring training at-bat against teammate Hunter Greene on Tuesday.
The 22-year-old infielder hit a foul ball off of Greene into the player's parking lot, smashing the car window of the pitcher's car.

When he learned about the damage, Greene had some words for De La Cruz. "You're paying for that!" he said, according to Fox 19's Jeremy Rauch.
De La Cruz and Greene are two rising stars on a budding Reds club that enters camp with high expectations. After posting a winning record last campaign, the club made several key additions this offseason.
