Julio Urias has been the best pitcher in baseball that no one’s talked about over the course of the last two seasons.
Since the beginning of last year, Urias is an incredible 37-10 with a stifling 2.58 ERA. He has nine more wins than the next closest pitcher (Adam Wainwright), and is ahead of Sandy Alcantara’s second-best 2.74 ERA in that time.
This season, Urias is 17-7 with an NL-best 2.17 ERA, and has looked every bit the ace of this staff and one of the best pitchers in all of baseball.
But at the same time, he hasn’t gotten the recognition he’s deserved.
