Reds: Dee Strange-Gordon’s release gives Jonathan India the green light

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India (71) rounds the bases on a solo home run.

Jonathan India, the former No. 5 overall pick to the Cincinnati Reds in the 2018 MLB Draft, appears to be on the brink of finally making an impact at the major league level. The 24-year-old is slashing a robust .344/.475/.625 in 32 at-bats this spring, while seeing plenty of time at second base. The Reds can’t afford to screw this up; India must be on the Opening Day roster.

India is a natural third baseman, drafted out of the University of Florida in 2018.
