2025 Fantasy Outlook
The first-overall pick in 2024, Bazzana may be held to an unreasonable standard just due to the fact he was the first pick in what may end up being a below-average draft class. The only second baseman to ever be selected first overall in the draft, Bazzana hails from Australia and put up cartoonish numbers as an amateur in the West Coast League, Cape Cod League and three seasons of Pac-12 play. He slashed .238/.369/.396 with three home runs, five steals, a 25.4 percent strikeout rate and a 69.3 percent contact rate in 27 games for High-A Lake County. Bazzana's 24.2 percent hard-hit rate was mediocre, given his pedigree and the level he was at, and at best, he could develop plus power, almost all of which will go to the pull side. His hit tool is supposed to be the carrying tool, but it wasn't airtight at High-A, which was a fair level assignment. Bazzana is a plus runner, which gives fantasy managers another path to value, but if he's not at least a plus hitter with above-average power, he'll go down as a disappointment. Brayan Rocchio's late-season improvements will allow Cleveland to keep Bazzana in the minors until he forces the issue, which may not be until 2026. Read Past Outlooks

Analysis
The first overall pick in 2024 is still "a few weeks away" from game action, per Guardians team president Chris Antonetti. At the time of his injury and placement on the 7-day injured list May 21, the club estimated an 8-to-10 week timeline for Bazzana's return.
