The praise from your teammates can go a long way, but when you are Freddie Freeman giving praise to a guy like Julio Urias it goes just a bit further. Freeman, the former NL MVP, has faced his fair share of hitters through his 13 year career and ranks Urias among the best pitchers he has seen.
Julio has given all batters he’s faced a hard time this season and is looking for his first Cy Young award. Last year, Urias finished seventh overall in Cy Young votes, four spots behind his teammate Walker Buehler.
