.It hasn’t been a smooth transition into pro ball for Bazzana, who was actually ranked No. 1 entering the Draft. Cleveland took him first overall and also signed the Australian infielder for $8,950,000.
Though he met foundation at a strong clip, Bazzana struck merely.238 with three homers and also 12 RBIs with his very first 27 games for Pond County. Strikeouts were actually a problem early, with 31 in his 1st 101 at-bats.
