Mark Saxon of ESPN Los Angeles, J.P. Hoornstra of the Daily News, Steve Dilbeck of the Times and Eric Stephen of True Blue L.A. wrap up Julio Urias’ spring debut, coming in the Dodgers’ 5-4 victory over San Diego (recapped here by Tyler Emerick of MLB.com).
From Saxon:
A veteran major-league scout, sitting behind home plate, watched Urias’ 14 pitches and typed in his first impressions of the youngest prospect in the game, in a text message. One of the first words he came up with is “Poise.”
“Stuff was good,” the scout added. “He pitches to both sides of the plate, with tail and sink. He has deception with his changeup.”

I hope the Dodgers don’t rush this kid through the system like they did with McDonald.

I was certainly impressed. He’s a real prodigy, advanced for his age. Such a lively damned fastball but also a surprising mix of pitches for his age. May he stay heathy. And agree on not rushing him. But by the time he’s 19 it will be pretty hard to resist.
