Drafted in the 31st round (942nd overall) by the Baltimore Orioles in 2012.
View Draft Report
After going 1-9, 9.07 as a sophomore in 2011, Bazzani dominated as a closer in the summer Northwoods League, where his fastball reached 97 mph. The 6-foot-4, 195-pounder has topped out at 95 this year and hasn't been nearly as impressive while fighting his command. He has a quick arm but a sketchy arm action and flies open too fast in his delivery. He'll pitch at 91-94 mph and flash some sink, but he'll also leave a lot of flat fastballs up in the strike zone. His splitter also has regressed after looking solid last summer, and his curveball is too loopy.
