Former first-round pick climbed to Double-A in 2019.

Jonathan India showed his power Friday in his fifth Catcus League appearance of spring training for the Cincinnati Reds.

India, the No. 5 overall draft pick in 2018, hit a line-drive home run to right field against the Arizona Diamondbacks. He hit 11 home runs in his first two seasons in the minors but knows that’s not his game.

“I feel more like a gap hitter,” India said. “The power will be there, but I’m not trying to be a home run hitter.”

This will be India’s fourth season in pro baseball. He spent last season training at the Reds’ alternate site in Mason. This season, he was one of the minor-league prospects invited to train with the big-league players in Goodyear, Ariz. Baseball America ranks India as the Reds’ third-best prospect behind shortstop Jose Garcia and outfielder Austin Hendrick, the team’s first-round pick in 2020.

India hit .227 in 15 Cactus League games with the Reds before spring training was suspended last March. This spring, he hit .250 in his first six appearances.

“I feel very comfortable out there,” India said. “It’s a lot different this year with COVID and the protocols we’ve got. We’re spread out a lot. But I’m excited to be here. I’m ready for this year. I feel really strong. I’m healthy. I’m ready to go.”

India has spent the majority of his professional career playing third base but also has seen action at shortstop and second base. The shortstop position is one of the focuses for the Reds this spring with Dee Strange-Gordon, Kyle Farmer and Garcia the most likely players to win the job.

“I played shortstop my whole life before college,” India said. “I was a shortstop in high school
