Bryce Osmond

Osmond was a high-profile prospect as a senior at Jenks High in Tulsa, Okla., where he ranked as the No. 41 prospect on the 2019 BA 500. Choosing Oklahoma State over pro ball, Osmond finds himself in the same situation once again. Osmond was putting together his finest year in a Cowboys uniform yet, punching out 77 in 60.2 innings with a 4.75 ERA, but missed the last month of the season with arm soreness. An athletic, 6-foot-3, 188-pound righthander, Osmond has always had arm strength. His 92-94 mph fastball can reach 95-96 and is effective down in the zone. Riding true, Osmond’s fastball won’t escape mistakes unharmed, but the ability is there to move it around and elevate it when needed. The success of Osmond’s outings has typically revolved around his slider and what action it brought to the table that start. When it’s on, the 82-85 mph offering is dangerous to both lefthanded and righthanded hitters with sharp diving action late, whether in the glove or in the dirt. He does have a curveball and a changeup in his arsenal but relies mostly on the fastball/slider combination. Although Osmond is around the dish with his command, there are times he is over the heart of the plate too much. Regardless, there was enough improvement in that area this spring to give scouts hope Osmond is still coming into his own, with more room to add strength as well. While Osmond has shown flashes, his draft stock is clouded given his arm health.
