The Cincinnati Reds have searched high and low over the last several seasons, and have failed to find a leadoff hitter. Jonathan India has changed that. The rookie second baseman has been David Bell’s table setter for the last several games, and the Reds have seen marked success with India hitting atop the Cincinnati batting order.
Cincinnati tried hitting Billy Hamilton atop the batting order, and it never worked out the way the Reds had hoped.
