8/6/17
The southpaw continues his impressive summer with another solid performance. A good athlete on the bump who is efficient mechanically. Arm works well through a high-¾ slot with some effort to his delivery. Fastball sat in the low 80s on this day and we’ve seen him up to 86 mph previously. Breaking ball has bite to it on a 1/7 plane. Uses the pitch to get ahead of and put hitters away. Changeup is developing into a nice offering. Maintains arm speed on the pitch that has some late run and dive. Potential to be a scholarship arm. A switch hitter at the plate. From the right side he uses a simple, rhythmic load. A back leg guy who takes an uphill path to the baseball. Strength is top tools at the plate. Line drive type swing from the right. Looks more natural from the left. Loading sequence is similar but natural tools stand out more. Swings with intent, showing gap pop. His natural loft makes him a power threat to his pull side. In the outfield he plays with aggression, while maintaining fluidity. Ball skills are average to above average. Arm is his top tool. Has a corner look to him, with the functional athleticism to play left or right.

A switch hitter at the plate. Looks to be natural lefty. Right-side continues to get better each time we see him however. Strength stands out as his top physical tool, also generating above average bat speed. Path has some loft and he projects to grow into some power as he matures. Run producer type bat. From the outfield, he approaches the ball with fluidity. Fields the ball on his glove side foot and quickly transitions into release. Releases the ball from a 3/4 arm slot with a longer arm action. Throws the ball with some definitive carry. On the mound, the southpaw has a fluid delivery to the plate. Starts from a tall setup and utilizes a high leg raise. Uses an average tempo delivery that is easily repeatable. Mechanics are polished. Glove foot lands towards home plate on impact. Releases from a ¾ arm slot with a longer arm action. Fastball stays on a downward plane and shows some cut movement. Curveball spins sharply on a 1-7 plane. Also offers a developing changeup to round out his three pitch mix. Offspeed offering shows some tail at the end of its life.

A switch- hitter that starts in an open setup. Gets back to even through a short stride. Hands are loose creating impressive barrel whip through contact. Swings with intent and showed advanced strength and bat speed. Worked to his pull side predominantly, showing the ability to leave the park in batting practice. From the right side he uses a more simple appraoch mechanically. More of a contact guy from the right side. Path is slightly downhill with some quickness to his bat. Looks more advanced from the left-side at this stage. In the outfield he looked smooth and under control. Plays through the ball with efficiently and gets rid of it in a timely fashion. Arm strength stood out and throws showed carry. Also was impressive on the mound. The southpaw has a fluid delivery that he is able to repeat. Arm works well through a high-¾ slot with above average arm speed. A strike thrower that commands both sides of the plate with his fastball that sat 81-84 mph. Works off the pitch that showed heavy arm side run at times. Spins a sharp, 1/7 shaped breaking ball with depth at 71-73 mph. Used the pitch to get ahead of, and put away hitters.  His 77-79 mph changeup may have been the best one we saw all day. Osmond has excellent feel for the pitch that has late, heavy fade to it. Struck out all five hitters he faced in game action.

5-foot-11, 190-pound strong body frame. Defensively he uses efficient footwork and moves well around the bag at first base. Fields ground balls with his hands out in front of his body and throws with a clean arm action through a ¾ slot recording 79 mph velocity across the infield. A switch hitter that starts in a tall setup from the right side. Takes his hands to launch during his short stride. Stays fluid throughout his loading sequence. Path is compact with noticeable strength to his swing. Consistently made hard contact in batting practice, especially to hiss pull side. From the left he uses similar mechanics. Looks more comfortable and has more juice from the left. Right-side is playable but future looks brighter from the left. On the bump the southpaw looked fluid and athletic. Arm works well through a high-3/4 slot. Showed above average arm speed. Fastball gets out of his hand well, with slight run at times. Velocity was 80-84 mph with more to come.

7/6/16
5-foot-10, 180-pound solid frame. A switch-hitter, from the left-side of the plate starts his swing from a tall stance using a slight, rhythmic weight shift with his lower half to his back leg in which he is able to generate power striding forward.

Reached a top exit velocity of 81 mph from the left-side. From the right-side of the plate he uses very similar mechanics as the left-side, except he incorporates a knee high leg kick from the right-side for added strength. Recorded a top exit velocity of 77 mph from the right-side of the plate and ran a 7.55 60-yard dash. From the outfield, he could incorporate more momentum in his run through.
