When 19-year-old left-hander Julio Urias starts Friday night for the Los Angeles Dodgers, the baseball world will tune in to one of the most exciting debuts we'll see this season. Urias is regarded as the second-best pitching prospect in the game behind Lucas Giolito of the Nationals, and has dominated at Triple-A Oklahoma City. He enters Friday's start against the Mets riding a 27-inning scoreless streak while posting a season ERA of 1.10 with 24 hits and 44 strikeouts in 41 innings. Given his age, the Dodgers have him on a strict innings limit and he's yet to top 82 pitches in a game, so don't expect him to go too deep into this start.
