When the Dodgers secured the final out of their first World Series clincher since 1988, the guy on the mound likely wasn’t someone many would have expected heading into the season. The feel-good, perfect ending to the story would have had Kenley Jansen striking out the last batter on a 94mph cutter high and away in the zone. Instead, 24-year-old Julio Urias was on the bump punching out 4 of the last 7 Tampa Bay Rays he faced to end it.
The same Julio Urias that sent the Dodgers to the World Series with his NLCS game 7 dominance over the Atlanta Braves a week before.
