The wait is over for Travis Bazzana. The top prospect from within the Cleveland Guardians organization finally secured his first major-league hit on Saturday, ripping a two-out single against Hogan Harris. The hit not only produced his first Major League hit of his young career, but he also was able to produce his first two RBI's as well.
Thanks to Bazzana, fellow rookie Chase DeLauter, and Rhys Hoskins both scored, putting the Guardians up 9-5 in the top of the seventh. The Guardians had a one-run lead heading into the inning, sitting at 6-5, with a game Athletics squad looking to take the lead and try to take their first game in the series. Bazzana came through in a big way and drove the ball up the middle in a key moment for the Guardians.

— Guardians Prospective (@CleGuardPro) May 2, 2026That wouldn't be the only first for the Guardians rookie infielder, either. Just a few mere moments later, Bazzana added to his day of firsts by registering the first stolen base of his career.

It had been a struggle for the rookie to find his first hit, as he had gone 0-12 heading into the game. While he struggled to find his first hit, it wasn't due to forcing himself. In fact, Bazzana has shown tremendous plate discipline since being called up. While he only has one hit so far, he's registered four base-on-balls in his brief career, showing a unique eye that will do him well as the season progresses.
