Travis Bazzana, a former No. 1 overall pick in the Cleveland Guardians, has been a standout player for the team since his debut in the Major League. Despite opening his major league career with a start 12 at-bats, he remained confident and his quality of his at-bat never changed. His first home run came during Cleveland's 6-4 win over Minnesota and made him the 10th Aussie ever to hit a home run in the majors. Bazzano also made history by stealing six bases in his first nine career games. His six steals since May 2 are the most in the major league during that period.
