Buscando mejor competencia, jugó algunos juegos en la Liga Australiana de Béisbol (ABL) profesional contra jugadores el doble de su edad mientras aún estaba en la escuela secundaria.\n\nA los 16 años, los Tigres le ofrecieron un contrato, pero él decidió apostar por sí mismo tomando la ruta universitaria para aumentar su valor. Decir que esa apuesta dio resultado sería quedarse corto.\n\nEn el 2022, Bazzana fue nombrado All-American de Primer Equipo para Novatos por publicaciones como Collegiate Baseball, Perfect Game y la Asociación Nacional de Escritores de Béisbol Universitario (NCBWA), gracias a su OPS de .902. Un año después, llevó su juego a otro nivel al liderar al equipo con un promedio de .374 y ser nombrado All-American de Segundo Equipo por Collegiate Baseball. La temporada junior de Bazzana fue la mejor de todas, con una impresionante línea ofensiva de .407/.568/.911, quedando segundo nacionalmente en OPS detrás de Charlie Condon de Georgia y siendo finalista para el premio Golden Spikes, que ganó Condon.\n\nMás allá de los números, lo que hace a Bazzana “el hombre más interesante del béisbol universitario”, según su agente Chase Brewer, es su mentalidad analítica. Por ejemplo, durante su primer año en OSU, realizó investigaciones que mostraron que su tasa de bateo a lanzamientos fuera de la zona de strike era significativamente mayor en conteos favorables para los bateadores, lo que elevó su porcentaje de embasado de .423 como novato a .500 en su segundo año. En el 2023, Bazzana hizo una presentación de 90 minutos a los lanzadores de Oregon State sobre qué pitcheos deberían utilizar en ciertas situaciones. Esa misma campaña, buscó consejo del rival de conferencia Rodney Green de Cal sobre su táctica de “liderazgo en bases”, la cual resultó en que Bazzana estableciera un récord para su universidad con 36 bases robadas en el 2023.\n\nSolo un jugador nacido en Australia en la historia de las Grandes Ligas ha conectado más de 30 jonrones (Dave Nilsson, quien pegó 105 en su carrera de ocho años), y según Baseball Australia, solo 38 australianos han aparecido en un juego de las Mayores.","type":"text"}],"relativeSiteUrl":"/news/travis-bazzana-tomado-de-nro-1-por-guardianes-en-draft-2024-de-mlb","contentType":"news","subHeadline":null,"summary":"Los Guardianes seleccionaron

Guardianes toman al australiano Bazzana de Nro. 1 en Draft de MLB
Guardianes toman al australiano Bazzana de Nro. 1 en Draft de MLB
Los Guardianes seleccionaron el domingo al segunda base Travis Bazzana de Oregon State con la primera selección global en el Draft de MLB del 2024.
El nativo de Australia, de 21 años, es un jugador completo con cinco herramientas y probablemente el prospecto más talentoso de este año, lo que corresponde a su estatus como la promesa número uno de cara al draft según MLB.com. Batea a la zurda para promedio y poder, tiene excelente velocidad y se proyecta como un sólido defensor, ya sea en la segunda base u otra posición, gracias a sus habilidades atléticas.
Aunque creció en un país más conocido por el cricket, el fútbol y el rugby, todos los cuales Bazzana jugó en la Escuela Secundaria Turramurra, junto con atletismo y baloncesto, el béisbol finalmente ganó como su amor más grande, destacándose rápidamente como un prospecto élite. Buscando mejor competencia, jugó algunos juegos en la Liga Australiana de Béisbol (ABL) profesional contra jugadores el doble de su edad mientras aún estaba en la escuela secundaria.
A los 16 años, los Tigres le ofrecieron un contrato, pero él decidió apostar por sí mismo tomando la ruta universitaria para aumentar su valor. Decir que esa apuesta dio resultado sería quedarse corto.
En el 2022, Bazzana fue nombrado All-American de Primer Equipo para Novatos por publicaciones como Collegiate Baseball, Perfect Game y la Asociación Nacional de Escritores de Béisbol Universitario (NCBWA), gracias a su OPS de .902. Un año después, llevó su juego a otro nivel al liderar al equipo con un promedio de .374 y ser nombrado All-American de Segundo Equipo por Collegiate Baseball. La temporada junior de Bazzana fue la mejor de todas, con una impresionante línea ofensiva de .407/.568/.911, quedando segundo nacionalmente en OPS detrás de Charlie Condon de Georgia y siendo finalista para el premio Golden Spikes, que ganó Condon.
Más allá de los números, lo que hace a Bazzana “el hombre más interesante del béisbol universitario”, según su agente Chase Brewer, es su mentalidad analítica. Por ejemplo, durante su primer año en OSU, realizó investigaciones que mostraron que su tasa de bateo a lanzamientos fuera de la zona de strike era significativamente mayor en conteos favorables para los bateadores, lo que elevó su porcentaje de embasado de .423 como novato a .500 en su segundo año. En el 2023, Bazzana hizo una presentación de 90 minutos a los lanzadores de Oregon State sobre qué pitcheos deberían utilizar en ciertas situaciones. Esa misma campaña, buscó consejo del rival de conferencia Rodney Green de Cal sobre su táctica de “liderazgo en bases”, la cual resultó en que Bazzana estableciera un récord para su universidad con 36 bases robadas en el 2023.
Solo un jugador nacido en Australia en la historia de las Grandes Ligas ha conectado más de 30 jonrones (Dave Nilsson, quien pegó 105 en su carrera de ocho años), y según Baseball Australia, solo 38 australianos han aparecido en un juego de las Mayores.
