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 who won the gold medal at the 2004 Summer Olympics and the silver medal in the 2008 Summer Olympics. Osterman was born in Houston, Texas to parents Gary and Laura Osterman. Her younger brothers are Craig and Chris. She attended Cypress Springs High School in Cypress, Texas from 1997 to 2001, where she set several records on the school’s softball team. In 2001, she struck out 33 batters in a 14-inning 1-0 shutout over Cy-Fair High School. As such, she set a national record for strikeouts in a game under 20 innings, beating Jenny Stallard’s previous record of 31 in 19 innings in 1978. She also set a national record for strikeouts in a 14-inning game, breaking Michelle Granger’s former record of 31 in 1985.
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 served a starting pitcher for the Longhorns.
Among her favorite athletes are fellow Texans Roger Clemens and Nolan Ryan, as well as NBA player Hakeem Olajuwon. She was the first softball player to appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated (the 7 October 2002 “America’s Best Sports Colleges” issue), and made a second SI cover with the 2004 Olympic Gold Medal Softball team to become one of two softball players to appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated twice.
In the bonus features of the “Bad News Bears” DVD, Billy Bob Thornton admits to having a crush on Cat Osterman.
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. Osterman pitched a total of 20 NCAA career no-hitters and 10 NCAA career perfect games. -Wikipedia
