Following the injury to starter Clayton Kershaw, 20-game winning left-hander Julio Urias is filling a starting pitching void for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Urias missed a month to recover from the surgery.
In 2019, Urias was suspended 20 games for domestic battery. He accepted the consequences without appealing the decision. He cooperated fully in the investigation and the matter is well behind him at this point. No criminal charges were filed in the incident. So far this postseason, Urias pitched five innings against the San Francisco Giants, earning the win in Game 2 of the NLDS. The Giants lead the best-of-five series, 2-1.Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Julio Urias reacts during the second inning of Game 2 of a baseballNational League Division Series against the San Francisco Giants Saturday, Oct. 9, 2021, in San Francisco. One of the great aspects of Julio Urias’ success is his ability to sequence quality pitches from a nasty repertoire.
His next most widely used pitch is his swing-and miss changeup. Without altering his delivery to tip the pitch, Urias takes the velocity down to 86 miles per hour and gets hitters to chase the ball, which is often out of the strike zone.Capable of throwing a sweeping slider, Urias is generally content to let his fastball, curve and changeup carry his outings. But the slider is a weapon that he deploys to get the hitter to chase.
Urias is not very big by today’s pitcher standards. At 6-0, 225 pounds, he is not an imposing figure on the mound. However, his glare and stare are enough to intimidate a hitter, not to mention his deceptive pitch arsenal.
