Donovan Osborne  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. Osborne also has a decent changeup. Because he can't overpower hitters, Osborne has to fool them instead. He changes speeds well enough to keep righthanders from teeing off on him.

Defense & Hitting
Osborne is nothing special in the field. His windup, though, makes him an easy target to run on. Osborne is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Osborne has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Osborne as a pinch-runner on occasion.
