When Roberto Osuna set sights on baseball after court dismissed domestic assault charges against him

Roberto Osuna was punished by the MLB for 75 games for breaking the league's joint domestic violence, sexual assault, and child abuse policy.

In exchange for a one-year agreement to keep the mother of Osuna's child and complete counseling, the prosecution abandoned the assault allegations against the former All-Star pitcher for the Blue Jays in 2018.

Of this, Osuna said:

"Now I can begin to put these allegations behind me and focus on baseball, I am grateful to the Astros for providing me with the opportunity to play baseball and compete for a World Series championship."

Given that he had additional plans, he stated that he wouldn't have anything more to say about the case and is focused on "moving past this and looking only to the future."

Osuna received a negative response in the game after his case. He claimed, through a translator, that he was unconcerned by the negative response. He said:

"When I came into the game I was focused on what I had to do, so it didn't affect me. The Astros issued a statement saying they "look forward to Roberto continuing his commitment to be a productive and caring part of our community."

Osuna spent three seasons in the Jays' minor league system after being signed as a 16-year-old out of Mexico. He made history in 2015, when, at the age of 20, he became the organization's youngest pitcher to play in a game and the first person born in 1995 to compete in Major League Baseball.
