    Righthander Zach Osborne pitched himself into the top 10 rounds when he threw a five-hit shutout to beat Rice in the opening game of the NCAA's Austin Regional. He led the Sun Belt Conference in ERA (2.37) and strikeouts (112 in 122 innings), fashioning 14 quality starts in 16 tries. A 6-foot-5, 215-pound senior who spent two seasons at New Mexico JC, Osborne throws from a low-three-quarters arm slot and profiles best as a reliever in pro ball. His best pitch is an 88-91 mph two-seam fastball that showed improved sink in 2010. His slider also got better this year.
