Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India didn’t know whether he would make the team out of spring training. India is a natural third baseman, but the Reds already had two players on the depth chart ahead of him at third. However, he played incredibly well in Arizona, and the Reds had no choice but find a position for the 2018 first round draft pick. And now he has become a valuable member of the 2021 Reds.
The 24-year-old is hitting .261/.375/.402 with an OPS+ of 105. He has 52 hits in 241 plate appearances, which includes six doubles, two triples and six home runs.
