CINCINNATI -- With his parents and sister by his side, Reds first rounder Jonathan India stepped on to the field at Great American Ball Park for the first time Tuesday and took it all in. India hasn't made it to the Major Leagues yet, but the journey began that day with the signing of his contract with the Reds.
A third baseman from the University of Florida and the fifth-overall selection in the 2018 MLB Draft, India signed for a $5.3 million bonus, slightly below the pick's slot value of $5,946,400. He spent the day in Cincinnati and took a physical before coming over to the ballpark.
