Jonathan India experienced that first-hand in 2018 and reaped the benefits on Monday.
The Cincinnati Reds selected India with the fifth overall pick in the 2018 MLB Draft..

Heading into the Super Regional round of the NCAA Tournament — with UF two wins away from reaching the College World Series for a fourth-straight year — India paces the Gators with a .366 batting average, a .733 slugging mark (fourth-best in Florida history), 18 home runs and 49 walks. His 45 RBI are third on the team.
