Jonathan India looks like completely different hitter after Royals’ lineup shuffle

While Jonathan India hasn't had the kind of season that the Kansas City Royals were hoping for, the versatile player is showing a spark of late. And at least part of the reason he's started to play better is because he's gotten bumped down in the order.

India entered 2025 considered as the answer for the Royals at the leadoff spot. However, it became apparent fairly early on that he was struggling there quite a bit. The team has even juggled where he's played, while he was still batting leadoff, and while he's gotten hot every now and then, he's always gone back to struggling.
