Antonio Osuna  
Relief Pitcher | Cincinnati Reds

Pitching
Osuna's bread-and-butter pitch is a devastating sinking changeup that he'll throw to any batter in any count. He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
His pickoff move is merely average. Osuna has been regarded as a poor fielder throughout his career, and last year was no different. Osuna is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Osuna has some pop in his swing.
