Dodgers: Why Julio Urias Should Make the Opening Day Rotation

Julio Urias made his MLB debut on May 27, 2016, against the New York Mets. Urias struggled in the first inning surrendering three runs. What most baseball fans saw from this start was a 19-year-old prospect who wasn’t quite ready for the big leagues. What the Dodgers saw was a 19-year-old pitcher who was calm and collected the entire time he was on the mound.

No matter how bad it got for Urias you’d never be able to see he was struggling. He showed a little shakiness in his control that day walking four batters but also showed his dominance by striking out three.
