Bazzana is one of several RubberDucks prospects who could make their way up to Cleveland by the end of the season for the Guardians.

The Guardians selected Bazzana No. 1 overall in the 2024 MLB draft out of Oregon State. Last season in 27 games he had a .238 batting average with three home runs and 12 RBIs at Single-A Lake County.
He's the No. 1 prospect in the Guardians organization and is ranked ninth overall by MLB Pipeline.
