Gaurdians No. 1 pick Travis Bazzana is impressing early in his pro career.
Bazzana, in his third game as a professional, hit a grand slam for the Cleveland’s Class A Lake County Captains on Wednesday in the completion of Tuesday’s game that was suspended by rain.The No. 1 pick in MLB’s draft earlier this month went 2 for 4 with four RBI, three runs and two walks in a 17-5 win over Beloit. He did not play in the regularly schedule game on Wednesday.
The slam was Bazzana’s first professional home run. It came on a 3-2 pitch with no outs in the fifth inning. In three games he’s hitting .364 wirh one homer and five RBI. The Guardians used the first overall pick on July 14 to select Bazzana out of Oregon State. They signed him for $8.95 million and assignment him to Lake County, their High-A league.
It was an unusual move for the Guards. They usually send their draft picks to their spring training site in Goodyear, Arizona to be introduced to the organization. But since Bazzana was their first overall No.1 pick in franchise history, and he came from an advance college program, they felt they needed to challenge him.Bazzana has been batting leading and playing second base for the Captains.
