Bazzana has done nothing but hit since his college career kicked off, and is now viewed as one of the premier hitters in the 2024 class. Before he got to campus at Oregon State, the Australian native played in the West Coast League where he slashed .429/.471/.593 with 18 doubles and 18 stolen bases. He has hit over .300 in both of his seasons with Oregon State, enters the 2023 season as a career .340/.463/.549 hitter with the Beavers and during the 2023 summer won the MVP award in the Cape Cod League where he ranked as the No. 1 prospect of the field. A 6-foot, 197-pound lefthanded hitter and second baseman, Bazzana has an unusual looking swing with a deep bat tip behind his shoulder, a sizable leg kick and a flat path, but his contact skills are excellent and he pairs that with an advanced approach and standout swing decisions. He’s made contact at a 79% overall rate in two seasons with Oregon State, and hammers the ball on a line to all fields. Bazzana has improved his power year over year thanks to added physicality, though most of his home run power goes to the pull side in games. Defensively, he is a strong athlete and above-average defender at second base, though when he throws he has a tendency to drop down to a fully sidearm slot, which could create some questions moving forward. Bazzana is a plus runner with great instincts on the bases and has gone 50-for-56 (89.3%) in his college career.
