Oatman is a 6-foot-3 pitcher with athleticism and strength. The junior worked 84-85 mph (T85.2 mph) with his fastball, displaying carry and finish while consistently hitting his spots. His 69-70 mph curveball has 10/4 shape with sharpness, and Oatman showed the ability to land it for strikes. His changeup had good separation from the fastball at 76-77 mph, and the Mosinee-native sold the pitch by throwing it out of the same tunnel as the fastball with quality arm speed. The change-of-pace had depth and fade at the end of the offering. Oatman showed good balance in his delivery throughout his bullpen, landing on-plane with home plate and finishing with a medium leg swing. He repeats his delivery and has the ability to throw all three offerings for strikes in order to keep hitters off balance.

Out of an athletic and smooth moving delivery to pair with an easy and low effort arm action Oatman was able to be in the zone consistently with all of his pitches.

Oatman also showed the ability to spin a low-70s slider at an above average rate 2478 avg RPM (T2535 RPM) that averaged 12 inches of sweep T16.7 and flashed sharp break at times. To round off his arsenal Oatman threw a mid-70s changeup with intent that he was able to spot at the bottom of the zone.
