1 overall pick from two years ago. — Zack Meisel (@ZackMeisel) April 28, 2026 In the middle of a three-game losing streak, Guardians fans can hope that the former #1 overall draft pick from Australia can provide a needed spark for the team. The roster is currently at 39 players so no accompanying move is necessary to add Bazzana to the active roster.
Bazzana will undoubtedly replace Juan Brito, whose debut with the club was… in a word… disastrous. I hope Brito goes to Columbus and works on left and right field. I am not out on him as a hitter but I was definitely wrong in thinking he could be playable at second base as a defender.
Bazzana currently has a 152 wRC+ in Columbus with a 21. 2/17. 9 K/BB%.
