For the first time in his career, left-hander Julio Urias was a starter for the entire season with the Dodgers. All he did was go out and win 20 games, becoming the first big league pitcher to do reach that feat since Max Scherzer (then with the Nationals) in 2016. He also became the first Dodger to reach 20 since Clayton Kershaw in his MVP 2014 season.
It’s something that’s been a long time coming for Julio who made his MLB debut 6 years ago in New York against the Mets. The Mexican-born ace pitched through injuries, training wheels, legal issues and everything in between to reach this milestone.
