Jonathan India Showing Power Bat This Spring
3 years agoCincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India has been slugging away so far this spring. Over 10 games and 35 plate appearances, he's slugging .536 with three solo home runs. The 25-year-old was a surprise in the power department during his rookie campaign last year. Across his minor league career, power was never his strong suit. In his last minor league season in 2019, he hit 11 home runs while slugging just .402 over 121 games split between High-A and Double-A. However, last year, over 150 games with the Reds, he hit 21 home runs and had a .459 slugging percentage. India is set for a full season as the Reds' leadoff hitter this year. Even though the team's lineup has been weakened this offseason, India should still be a strong source of run-scoring while also helping fantasy managers in home runs and stolen bases.
