Former Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Julio Urías was placed on probation for three years and ordered to take a domestic violence treatment program after pleading no contest to a charge of misdemeanor domestic battery against his wife.
The left-handed pitcher nicknamed “El Culichi” from Sinaloa, Mexico, closed out the 2020 World Series by striking out Tampa Bay Rays slugger Willy Adames, giving the Dodgers their first championship since 1988.
But in September, the 27-year-old Urías was arrested outside BMO Stadium after an LAFC game. A person alerted police that a man and a woman were involved in a physical altercation, according to a report from the Exposition Park Department of Public Safety.
