The Los Angeles Dodgers are celebrating another accolade for their young left-handed pitcher Julio Urias. Urias has been named the winner of the Warren Spahn Award for the second year in a row, recognizing him as the best left-handed pitcher in baseball.
The Warren Spahn Award is named after the Hall of Fame left-hander who spent the majority of his career with the Milwaukee Braves and is widely regarded as one of the greatest pitchers in baseball history. Past winners of the award include some of the biggest names in the game, such as Randy Johnson, CC Sabathia, and Clayton Kershaw.
For Urias, this latest honor is the latest in a growing list of achievements. At just 26 years old, he has already established himself as a key member of the Dodgers rotation, with a career record of 49-17 and a 2.82 ERA. In 2022, Urias was particularly impressive, posting a 17-7 record with a 2.16 ERA in 31 appearances.
The Dodgers have long had a reputation for developing top-level pitching talent, and Urias is the latest in a long line of successful lefties to come through the organization. He will be looking to continue his impressive form in 2021 and help the team make a deep run in the postseason.
Overall, the Warren Spahn Award is a well-deserved recognition for Urias and a testament to his hard work and dedication to the game. The Dodgers are lucky to have him, and fans can expect to see even more great things from him in the future.
