Jonathan India would like to remind people that he’s only 26.
The Reds second baseman is hardly a grizzled veteran. He’s not far removed from his Rookie of the Year campaign in 2021, and sometimes, he still finds certain facets of life in the big leagues to be trying. But in Cincinnati’s clubhouse right now? With rookies galore, by comparison, India is an old pro.
“Everyone’s been saying that: You’re a veteran now. But I’m only in my third year!” India says. “It’s funny, they’ll ask me all these questions, and I still haven’t figured it all out yet. So it does feel kind of weird. But I’m fine with it.”
