The Cleveland Guardians select Oregon State star second baseman Travis Bazzana with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft.
Sunday night was a monumental night in the history of Cleveland baseball. While holding the No. 1 overall pick in the MLB Draft for the first time ever, the Cleveland Guardians selectedBazzana was one of the top prospects in the 2024 Draft, with many MLB Draft analysts ranking him the No. 1 overall player in this year's class. Despite rumors of the Guardians potentially drafting Georgia's Charlie Condon, general manager Mike Chernoff ultimately decided on Bazzana.
Many scouts raved about Bazzana's elite bat, as the 6-foot, 199-pound lefty has the ability to hit for average and power from the leadoff spot. The highly-touted prospect finished with a 1.582 OPS and a .568 OBP in 2024, making him a threat in any situation. Assuming he signs with the team, Bazzana will join a loaded farm system that includes six middle infielders within the team's top 30 prospects. However, the Guardians seem to have a clear vision for the 21-year-old.
