As the Cincinnati Reds head to New York to take on the Yankees, infielder Jonathan India is looking to tie an impressive record in team history.
travel to New York for a Tuesday meeting with the Yankees, infielder Jonathan India is looking to tie an impressive record in team history.To join any list in team history that includes Pete Rose would be an incredible accomplishment for India, who is having a nice bounceback year this year. Furthermore, tying this record would be extra impressive considering how difficult hitting is in today's game.
The 27-year-old India is hitting .278 this season with a .381 on-base percentage. He's got five homers and 34 RBI but has continued to put the ball in play and produce for a rather underwhelming Reds lineup. He's running an OPS of .791 and an OPS+ of 123, making him an extremely integral part of David Bell's lineup.
Heading into the year, there were questions about whether or not India had a place in Cincinnati, but with the PED suspension of Noelvi Marte and the injury to Matt McLain, he's reclaimed a spot in the everyday lineup. Given that Marte is back and McLain could return in August, trade rumors could swirl once again around India.
The former Rookie of the Year , India is a lifetime .259 hitter with 53 homers. The Reds will play the Yankees on Tuesday at 7:15 p.m. ET.Brady Farkas is a baseball writer for Fastball on Sports Illustrated/FanNation and the host of 'The Payoff Pitch' podcast which can be found on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
