Guardians take 2B Travis Bazzana with top pick in draft
Oregon State's Travis Bazzana (37) celebrates after hitting the team's second solo home run during an NCAA college baseball game against Oregon at Goss Stadium on Friday, April 26, 2024, in Corvallis, Ore. Picking first in the MLB Draft on Sunday night, the Cleveland Guardians did what most pundits expected and selected Oregon State second baseman Travis Bazzana.
The 2024 Pac-12 Player of the Year, Bazzana batted .407 with 28 homers and 66 RBIs for the Beavers, who advanced to a super regional as the No. 15 national seed before losing a three-game series at second-seeded Kentucky.
Bazzana is the first second baseman to ever be selected with the No. 1 overall pick. He set an Oregon State single-season record by scoring 84 runs and slugging .911. Bazzana also stole 16 bases and boasted a .568 on-base percentage.
Bazzana was a consensus first team All-America pick.
