2016 Dodgers in Review: LHP Julio Urias

What happened in 2016: Began the season in Triple-A, made his MLB debut earlier than expected and dazzled.

We had heard so much about Julio Urias since he burst onto the scene in 2013 with the Low-A Great Lakes Loons. The Dodgers signed him the summer before, and it has been one hell of an investment to date.

In 2016, Urias began the season with Triple-A Oklahoma City, as expected. In his first start, he went just five innings but gave up just four hits, no runs, issued no walks and struck out nine.
