- Sydney-born Oregon State product Travis Bazzana sits down with ESPN to reflect on an unlikely journey from Australia to the top of the 2024 MLB draft.
Bazzana shares how he found a love for the game as a kid in the Sydney suburbs choosing between cricket and baseball, the players that inspired him throughout his career and the standards set at OSU by a host of major league stars that drove him to elevate his game on and off the diamond.
The big-hitting Australian also discusses advice he's received along the way, what he'd share with his younger self, the Aussie character he brings to the clubhouse and shares a note he wrote in his phone predicting a future Australian national team lineup years ago.

Hopefully his talent received more attention and recognition in his home country. This guy is a great talent with hardwork to match.
So happy he’s in the Guardians’ system now! Get him to Lake County for a few minutes and then get him to Akron so I can watch him this year!
As an Aussie MLB fan this is exciting as! Rooting for this kid
Welcome to guardians brother
I love to hear his Australian accent come and go. LOL
This kid is awesome. Even his name is cool...Bazzana!
Go Beavs! So sad that they didn't make it farther into the tourney. Kid has all the tools. He'll be the best offensive 2nd baseman in the league.
Just saw an article on ESPN. Didn't realize that Australia had a baseball program. At first, I thought he went from a cricket player to college baseball somehow, lol.
Can't wait to see you in the show at Progressive Field.
Wow, just wow
I have followed MLB for over 20 years as an Aussie, living in Sydney. Each year i learn more an more about the game as my fantasy sides grew from 1 team per year to 8 at a minimum. To be able to pick Travis as my starting 2nd baseman, having heard how he speaks, the person he is, how he represents Australia on the world stage and his obvious ability, has taken my love of the game to an amazing new level. Congratulations to this young man, you deserve every accolade headed your way.
Lifelong Cleveland Guardians fan here. As fans we are extremely happy he’s with this team now. He looks like the real deal.
gee ... that last minute was emotional ..... onya Trav
Cincinnati Reds🎉
I want the Indians to take him number 1 over all.
