Here is a review of his first start with Round Rock via the Newberg Report:
In a sardine-packed Dell Diamond, Roy Oswalt pitched two scoreless innings on 34 pitches. Oswalt allowed three singles: one hard liner to left, a medium-hard grounder up the middle and a cheap bloop to right. He walked one and struck out one. The ump might have been squeezing him a bit, but irrespective of calls, Oswalt's location and velocity were solid. Some of the early fastballs clocked in the mid-80s on the stadium gun, but a scout told me he ran in the 92-94 MPH range. He was consistently 90-92 in the 2nd and mixed in a variety pack of offspeed pitches. He also threw a bullpen session after leaving the mound. In essence, Oswalt looked fit and ready for duty.
