Julio Urias With 28 Strikeouts, One Walk In May
4 years agoLos Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Julio Urias has had a fantastic 2021 campaign so far. Over nine starts, he's gone 6-1 with a 3.04 ERA and 0.85 WHIP. He's been exceptional at limiting walks so far in May. Over 25.2 innings this month, he's issued just one walk, compared with 28 strikeouts. He has a 3.2% walk rate on the year, down from 8% last year. His strong 3.04 ERA on the year is backed up by a 3.01 xERA. He's always shown a knack for limiting hard contact and this year has been no difference as his 29.3% hard-hit rate ranks amongst the top 10% of the league. Urias will look to keep rolling in his next trip to the mound on Sunday against the San Francisco Giants.
