Friday evening was business as usual for Dodgers‘top pitching prospect Julio Urias. This time, the scouting director, the pitching coordinator or whomever dictates orders to OKC manager Bill Haselman, only let Urias work five full innings against the Salt Lake Bees. All three of the 19-year-old’s previous starts in the month of May lasted six full innings.
Despite the short outing, the lefty phenom was able to stretch his arm out a bit, tallying 64 total pitches. In doing so, Urias kept alive his scoreless innings streak, increasing the total to 27 consecutive innings.
