Fernando Mania Part II
Fernando Mania Part II
If you didn’t watch any
Spring Training Baseball this past winter, you may not have heard or seen a
young southpaw named Julio Urias. Urias is a nineteen-year-old lefty from
Culiacan, Sinaloa, Mexico who throws absolute gas. He is the number ten
prospect going into this season according to Baseball America and number eight
according to MLB.com. Urias has four pitches that he can use at any time; they
are a lighting fast fastball, a Jon Lester type cutter, a big arching
curveball, and a changeup that is underrated.
Julio Urias has only been
a part of sixty-nine games in his Minor League Career. He has only nineteen
games of record and eleven wins. However, he has three hundred and eight
strikeouts to eighty-three walks—which is incredible. He is only 4-1 in this
young season in Triple A and has been called up to pitch tonight on the road in
Queens against Jacob DeGrom. Urias if he didn’t already have an immense amount
of pressure on him already—his Major League debut in the Big Apple against a
fantastic young pitcher in DeGrom with a lineup that patches a punch headline
with Yoenis Cespedes. Not to mention this kid is still a teenager walking to
the mound taking the ball tonight. I will be tuned in personally at 7PM EST
until the Eastern Conference Finals starts at 8:30PM EST.
