Jose Osuna Making His Claim for a Spot on the Pittsburgh Pirates Bench

Every spring there are certain things that people can expect. Rain will fall, flowers will bloom, the weather will start to turn, and Jose Osuna will mash in the Grapefruit League. As he looks to claim a spot on the Pittsburgh Pirates bench, for the fifth time in six seasons Osuna is raking in the Grapefruit League.

This spring, Osuna is slashing .304/.385/.391 with a pair of doubles in 23 at bats. In his Grapefruit League career, Osuna has slashed ,322/.392/.575 with 11 doubles and 11 home runs in 174 at bats.

Unfortunately for Osuna, this spring success has not always translated to the MLB level.
