LOS ANGELES -- The start to Julio Urias' promising major-league career has been more hot-air balloon ride than rocket off a launching pad, not that the Dodgers are complaining as upward progression is what they were looking for, regardless of speed.
Five starts into his big-league experience, Urias has been on a steady rise, and if there is one major thing learned about the 19-year-old left-hander it is that he has been every bit as advertised as a pitcher anointed the tag of top prospect in the organization, and top prospect in all of baseball by some.
