"Bananas for Bazzana ..."

say the Cleveland Guardians.

With the first pick in the 2024 MLB Draft they selected 2B Travis Bazzana from Oregon State.

In 2022, he was named a First Team Freshman All-American by the likes of Collegiate Baseball, Perfect Game and the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA), thanks to his .902 OPS. The next year, he hit a team-high .374 and was a Collegiate Baseball Second Team All-American.

Bazzana’s junior season was the best of all, as he finished with a preposterous .407/.568/.911 batting line. Bazzana’s 45 homers in his three years with Oregon State are the most in school history. He had 28 in 60 games this past year.
