Video, Guardians prospect Travis Bazzana impresses RubberDucks manager
Elite MLB prospects join the Akron RubberDucks every so often. Manager Greg DiCenzo explains why Guardians prospect Travis Bazzana is among the elite.
Akron RubberDucks fans who can’t make it to Canal Park will be able to find 15 of the team’s games over-the-air and on assorted pay-television systems beginning this weekend on the Rock Entertainment Sports Network.
All games will carry a simulcast of the NewsRadio 640 (WHLO) audio play-by-play by RubberDucks broadcasters Jim Clark and Marco LaNave.
“We are excited to partner with Rock Entertainment Sports Network to welcome viewers across the region to experience RubberDucks baseball,” said RubberDucks president and general manager Jim Pfander. “With Jim Clark and Marco LaNave narrating the action of exciting Cleveland Guardians prospects, and the sights and sounds of some of the most electric nights on our promotional calendar, viewers will see true highlights of what Canal Park offers all spring and summer.”
What is the Rock Entertainment Sports Network?

REG owns the American Hockey League Lake Erie Monsters and the NBA G-League Cleveland Charge. The network airs 24 hours.
