Could the Cleveland Guardians' select the team's next franchise middle infielder in Travis Bazzana?
Travis Bazzana, the poential No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft, is truly a "one-of-a-kind" prospect. He was born in Australia, and grew up in suburb just outside of Sydney. At the age of 15, Bazzana played in the Australian Baseball League, which is famous for some MLB talent playing in the winter league.

In his first season with the Beavers, Bazzana totaled 45 walks while striking out 62 times. His growth and development came in his second collegiate season, as Bazzana cut down the strikeouts to 47 and drew 59 walks in 2023. The second basemen also saw a 0.71-point increase in his batting average from year one to year two.
In his three seasons at Oregon State, the leadoff hitter broke the school's home run and stolen base record with 45 homers and 66 stolen bases.MLB's No. 2 Draft prospect became Oregon State's all-time home run king last week. Now he holds the school's stolen-base mark as well:Not every day do you see a leadoff hitter with insane power numbers and the ability to swipe bases at any given moment.
