Travis Bazzana
Full stats on FanGraphs →Waiver Wire
5 entriesBazzana's surface line (.213 BA) still hides the underlying skill — 23.1% walk rate, 13.5% K-rate, and 7 steals in 12 MLB games. Pitcher List still calls him a top-priority add. The 2024 #1 overall pick will hit; if he's on your wire at 40% rostered, you're getting a discount. Claim aggressively.
Pitcher List flagged Bazzana as 'wildly unlucky' — the .200 BA hides a .294 xBA built on elite EV and contact. The 2024 No. 1 pick already has 6 SB in 9 games, and the plate discipline mirrors his Triple-A profile. Projecting a high-AVG / low-teens HR / steals-floor 2B. Add aggressively in 12+ team leagues; the BA correction is coming.
Bazzana has settled in at 2B since the call-up — the BB rate has stayed elevated and the contact has improved over the last two weeks. Pitcher List flagged him as the second-priority hitter add. Top-15 2B rest of season in OBP/points; standard MI in roto.
Ownership tripled overnight after the call-up, and shallow leagues that didn't grab him on the rumor are running out of time. The two-walk debut is exactly the profile that translates — discipline before contact. If he's somehow still floating in your 10-team league, claim him before lineups lock.
The #1 overall pick in 2024 gets the call after mashing at Triple-A with an absurd 17.9% walk rate. He's the everyday 2B in Cleveland immediately. The plate discipline translates from day one — he's a must-add in OBP leagues and a priority add everywhere else. Ownership will triple this week.
Stash of the Week
1 entryThe 2024 #1 overall pick gets his first MLB call after slashing .287/.422/.511 at Triple-A Columbus with a ridiculous 17.9% walk rate and a 21.4% strikeout rate. Bazzana will be Cleveland's everyday second baseman — this isn't a spot start or a temp promotion. The hit tool and discipline are advanced enough that fantasy production should come quickly. He's the top prospect callup of the week and a priority add in all formats, especially OBP/points leagues where the walk rate translates immediately. Add now before the hype machine drives ownership past 50%.
