But before taking the field, the team held batting practice —and among players participating in the warmup was recent No. 1 draft pick Travis Bazzana.
As he took his batting practice, Bazzana had quite the audience. From family and friends who got to watch Bazzana's practice from the field to Guardians stars, including José Ramírez and Josh Naylor, the second baseman had all eyes on him.#Guardians No. 1 draft pick Travis Bazzana taking batting practice at Progressive Field today.
