Julio Urías— not a teenager no matter what his Twitter handle might say — has made two appearances in the majors this season, and his outing on Sunday opened some eyes.
Urías touched 97 mph on the radar gun with his final pitch. He threw 12 of his 16 pitches for strikes and struck out the side.

If you were wondering, yes, that will play.
The 96.82 MPH velocity on his fastball was the third-hardest he had ever thrown as a major leaguer.
