Catherine Leigh "Cat" Osterman born April 16, 1983 , is an American athlete and was one of the pitchers on the USA Women's Softball Team which won the gold medal at the 2004 Summer Olympics.
She started playing softball in first grade before quitting to play soccer and basketball. Cat found her way back to the diamond in fifth grade, when she was filling in as a backup pitcher for a little league team. She completed her collegiate eligibility in 2006 at the University of Texas at Austin, where she was a starting pitcher for the Longhorns since 2002.
Osterman held the NCAA Division I career strikeout record with 2,265 strikeouts over her four year career, surpassed by Monica Abbott on May 6, 2007, but Cat is still the NCAA all-time leader for stikeouts per 7 innings, 14.34 (as she pitched far fewer innings than Abbott). Cat also currently holds the Big 12 record with 25 Pitcher of the Week awards and the Big 12 record with four Pitcher of the Year awards. Osterman pitched a total of 20 NCAA career no-hitters and 10 NCAA career perfect games.

[edit] University of Texas: Freshman and Sophomore years
[edit] 2002: Freshman year
Osterman became the first UT freshman to be named Big 12 Conference Pitcher of the Week, for the week of February 19, a week in which she threw two no-hitters (a 3-0 win over the University of Utah on February 13 and a 4-0 win over Southwest Texas on February 15); they were only the third and fourth no-hitters by a UT freshman, and Cat became only the second Longhorns pitcher to throw a no-hitter, along with Natalie King's two freshman no-hitters in 2001). Her February 13th no-hitter was the first of her NCAA career.
She also threw the first perfect game in UT history in a game against Stephen F. Austin State University on February 26; she proceeded to throw two more perfect games in her freshman season. She struck out 554 batters to set a new NCAA freshman record (which has since been eclipsed by Monica Abbott of the Tennessee Lady Volunteers with 582 in 2004).
She set new UT single-season records for wins (36), innings pitched (304.1), games started (40), shutouts (17), appearances (51), and consecutive innings without giving up an earned-run (79.2 from February 13 to March 13), as well as the UT single-game record for innings-pitched (14) and strikeouts-in-a-game (23) in a March 1 game against Mississippi State University. In a March 20 game against Texas State, she broke her own UT record for strikeouts-in-a-game with 24 in a 12-inning match. She also tied the UT single-season record for complete games (27)..
[edit] 2003: Sophomore year
Osterman threw four more no-hitters, including another perfect game -- on February 12, March 1, and March 20 -- while setting new UT career records for wins (68), shutouts (35), strikeouts (1,042), and opponents-batting-average (.105). She is so far the only pitcher in Big 12 Conference history to strike out 1,000 batters in only two seasons. She also broke the record for strikeouts-per-game with an average of 14.1 per seven-innings, beating the previous mark of 13.9 by Danielle Henderson of the University of Massachusetts in 1999; she surpassed her own UT single-season record for shutouts with 18, and tied her own shared record for complete games (27). From April 22 to May 22, she went a career-high and UT record 65 consecutive scoreless-innings.
On July 11, Osterman threw a no-hitter in the 2003 Canada Cup, striking out 10 batters to defeat Team Canada 8-0; on July 12, Osterman pitched her second no-hitter of the 2003 Canada Cup, striking out 16 of 24 batters to defeat the Stratford Brakettes 5-0.
On August 15, Osterman threw a perfect game to win the Gold-Medal game of the 2003 Pan American Games against Canada 4-0, securing Team USA's fifth consecutive PanAm Gold Medal. She struck out 14 batters in a game that was delayed three-and-a-half hours due to rain.
[edit] 2004: XXVIII Olympiad
Osterman redshirted from UT to participate with fellow college softball pitcher Jennie Finch in the Olympic Games in Athens.
[edit] Aiming for Athens
Osterman went undefeated in 24 appearances during the USA Softball National Team's 53-game schedule. On February 20, she struck out nine batters in four perfect innings and combined with Finch for a no-hitter. On May 17, she struck out seven of nine batters over three innings, after which Finch struck out the final six batters in a row to combine for a perfect game and defeat the Sonic Stars 10-0. On July 10, she struck out 13 batters over five innings for another no-hitter, this time missing perfection on a lone error by first-baseman Stacey Nuveman in a 16-0 win over the Fort Worth All-Stars.
[edit] Olympic Games
Osterman picked up two wins and a save in the Olympiad. She followed Finch and Lori Harrigan of the University of Nevada by striking out the final two batters in Team USA's 7-0 victory over Italy on August 14; she gave up one hit and struck out 11 batters over eight innings in Team USA's 3-0 victory over Japan on August 16; and she gave up one hit and four walks while striking out 10 batters over six innings in Team USA's 3-0 victory over Chinese Taipei on August 20. Her 23 strikeouts led Team USA.
[edit] Return to the University of Texas
[edit] 2005: Junior year
Osterman threw six more no-hitters including three more perfect games on February 16 (perfect), March 9 (perfect), March 11, May 12, May 20, and May 21 (perfect); she also struck out 20-or-more batters in four separate games on March 17 (23 in ten innings), March 19 (21 in eight innings), April 26 (24 in ten innings), and May 27 (20 in nine innings) in the process of leading the Longhorns to a third-place finish in the NCAA Women's Softball College World Series (they lost to the UCLA Bruins, who in turn lost to the Michigan Wolverines).
She also topped her previous UT single-season records for complete games (31) and shutouts (22), and broke her own NCAA single-season record for strikeouts-per-game with an average of 15.2 per seven innings. She tied her own UT records for strikeouts-in-a-game with 24 (April 26) and strikeouts-in-a-seven-inning-game with 19 (May 1), and finished the season at third place on the all-time NCAA single-season strikeout list with 593 (behind Courtney Blades's 663 in 2000, and Monica Abbott's 603 in 2005).
On June 12, Osterman picked up the win in Team USA's Gold-Medal 9-0 victory over Australia in the 2005 International Sports Invitational; she gave up one hit and struck out ten batters over five innings.
On August 28, Cat made her television broadcast debut when she was the color commentator for ESPN2’s broadcast of the National Pro Fastpitch championship and all-star games.

[edit] Professional career
