Jonathan India: Shortstop?

As you know, Cincinnati’s 2018 first round pick was Jonathan India, a third baseman from the University of Florida. It has been interesting to watch as the Reds appear to have learned an important lesson from their refusal to try their top prospect, Nick Senzel, at any other position — despite the athleticism to play elsewhere around the diamond — until he was on the verge of the majors.

India played the bulk of his games in his first minor league season at third base, but he also started 13 games at shortstop. He’s been out in the instructional league since the season ended, as you can read about in this profile by Bobby Nightengale.
