Right-hander José Ureña got the starting assignment by default in 2018 with veteran alternatives on the disabled list and the club’s unwillingness to spend in free agency. But despite being lit up by the Cubs in that game, he finished the campaign with a bang. Ureña endured the heaviest workload of his career, posting a respectable 3.98 ERA/4.17 FIP/4.32 xFIP while leading the pitching staff with 1.8 fWAR.
Enjoy these highlights from Ureña’s age-26 season, and expect him to once again take the mound for the Marlins to kick off 2019.
