LOS ANGELES — Julio Urias makes his final start of what has been an exciting major league debut regular season on Thursday night against the Padres, and the now-20-year-old left-hander has already made quite an impact.
He has a 3.53 ERA in his 17 games, including 14 starts, with 79 strikeouts and 29 walks in 74 innings. Among the 196 major league pitchers with at least 70 innings in 2016, Urias ranks 25th in FIP (3.22), 49th in strikeout rate (24.4%) and 62nd in ERA.
Not bad for his age-19 season, and first taste of the majors.
