Dodgers pitcher Julio Urias is unflappable. He pitched in the postseason two months after turning 20 and earned the save in a World Series-clinching game at age 24. Now a wisened veteran at the ripe old age of 26, Urias had the best season of his career in 2022, going 17-7 with a 2.16 ERA before posting five solid innings for the win in Game 1 of the NLDS last night.
After the game, the media asked Julio about not letting the moment get too big for him in a postseason game. His answer to the question didn’t totally answer the question, because he wanted to rave about the energizing atmosphere of the Dodger Stadium crowd.
