By Victor Barbosa | Last updated 1/19/22

The name Scott Boras has become synonymous with big-time stars in Major League Baseball cashing in for big-time money over the past few decades. A new, potentially ascending star is one of the latest to reportedly join forces with Boras.

Add the Reds’ Jonathan India, the reigning NL Rookie of the Year, to the list of players who have recently switched to Scott Boras, sources tell @TheAthletic. Also: free agent Carlos Correa, (@MarkBermanFox26), and White Sox right-hander Dylan Cease (@JonHeyman first).

India was selected by the Reds as the fifth-overall pick in the 2018 MLB June Amateur Draft and not only made the team's Opening Day roster last season, but was in the starting lineup in the season opener.

The former Florida Gator finished the 2021 campaign with 21 home runs, 69 RBIs, 98 runs scored, 34 doubles and 12 steals and finished with 71 walks against 141 strikeouts. India posted a .269/.376/.459 slash line over 631 plate appearances in 150 games and led the National League by being hit by a pitch 23 times.

His on-base percentage (sixth), as well as runs scored (eighth), doubles (eighth) and walks (ninth) totals all ranked inside the top-10 in the National League.
