The San Diego Padres signed Luis Urias as a 16-year-old in 2013. A native of Mexico, he made his first appearance as a member of the Friars’ organization in 2014 sit the Dominican Summer League affiliate, also known as the Padres.
After just two games in DR, Urias was then moved to the Arizona Fall League Padres. It was here where the Friars brain trust was able to get an accurate gauge on what they had in this young player.
And an accurate gauge is exactly what they got, albeit in a small sample size.
