Jonathan India wants to make it clear, emphasizing it multiple times, he is not making excuses for the 2022 season.
There is no hiding the fact it was a disappointing year for himself and the team. The Cincinnati Reds lost 100 games, the second 100-loss season in club history. India, the reigning National League Rookie of the Year, struggled throughout his second season in the big leagues.
India took a step back offensively, batting .249 with 10 homers, 41 RBI and 48 runs in 103 games. His on-base percentage dropped 49 points from his rookie season and his slugging percentage sunk 81 points.
