Hopes were high for Luis Urias when he was acquired by the Brewers from San Diego in 2019. The pressure was even higher after Trent Grisham flourished in San Diego in 2020 while Urias struggled, battling COVID and a positional change to third base.
Going into 2021, Urias seemed primed to go. He won the starting job out of Spring Training, and his path to playing time was cleared when Orlando Arcia was traded to Atlanta.
