Beat me to it. Go Gators!

Awesome. As a long suffering Reds fan that is good news. I told my bro that if he could ever hit MLB pitching he would be a good player b/c he is an excellent defensive player, one of the top 2 or 3 I have seen at UF.

Was he a second baseman for the Gators?

No he played 3B. Came in as a SS like most infielders do and they moved him to 3B b/c Guthrie was still at SS when India came to campus. I believe he was the highest rated defensive infielder coming out of HS.

Thanks.

Been a Reds fans since the Big Red Machine days. But my glory year was 1990. Swept the A's against all the odds and talking head that said they had no chance. Kinda like our "no shot" at beating OSU.

Pete Alonso won NL ROY in 2019. Now India. Not a bad run for Gator Baseball. Recruiting is great! Now if we just had better coaching.
