Reds Plan To Keep Jonathan India At Second Base
2 years agoThe Cincinnati Reds have no plans to move Jonathan India from second base next season despite the league's new shift restrictions, which will put a premium on athleticism on the infield. India dealt with several injuries in a disappointing 2022 season following his National League Rookie of the Year honors in 2021. "(India) was in Cincinnati last weekend running sprints, and he looked better than he did the entire year last year," manager David Bell said. "He's a young player. He's plenty athletic. He's determined to kind of maximize his range. In my mind, he's our second baseman right now." The Reds will also give Spencer Steer a long look at third base, and Jose Barrero will compete for the starting gig at shortstop with Kevin Newman and Matt Reynolds.
