Whether Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India homers or strikes out, he has the same routine after he gets back to the dugout. He puts his helmet away and takes his place on the top step of the dugout.
For every pitch when he’s not on the field, India stands behind the on-deck circle, just to the left of manager David Bell. India is as close as he can be to home plate, and he’s locked into every pitch. He’s studying the pitcher and clapping for his teammates.
India doesn’t change his routine when he goes through slumps.
