LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, you have to take your hat off to enhance the superb season of Julio César Urias. With Thursday’s performance against the Pittsburgh Pirates, he reached the top of the major leagues, with the highest number of wins (9-2), above the millionaires and stars of the firmament.EL ZURDO de la Higuerita evokes the memorable presentation of Fernando Valenzuela with the same Dodgers in 1981, when he was the best of the big tent with a record of 8-0 in his first eight starts, which elevated him as the Rookie of the Year and no less prestigious Cy-Young awards.

URIAS, in his sixth season with the World Series champions, is now the king of wins, ahead of all-star likes Gerrit Cole, Aaron Civale, Jack Flaherty, Shane Biber, Madison Burgarner, Lance Lynn, Jacom De-gromm, Yu Darvish, Max Sherzer, Jack Arrieta, Black Snell and his teammates, Clayton Kershaw and Trevor Bauer. Nothing else. He now appears, with a 9-2 record, 3.56 ERA and 85 strikeouts. By the way, he increased productivity with the bat, pushing another pair of runs to raise his crop to 7. OF COURSE, this encouraging campaign consolidates projections for this year of contesting the coveted Cy Young as the best pitcher. He’s in his time, he’s taken advantage of the fact that manager Dave Roberts has let go of the reins. He’s left the floor in the starting rotation and has responded more than enough. Retaining the Win at the Dodgers coronation the previous season has catapulted him into 20212. We know that there is still a long way to go to achieve its consolidation, but it is a firm and forceful step. WHEN we remember the Bull Valenzuela, it is not to compare what Julio offers. No way. The Sonoran is cooked apart. What he achieved is part of our ball’s rich history. Unique in achieving the titles of Rookie of the Year and Cy Young in the same campaign of ’81 no one has crystallized it. His 173 wins and 2074 strikeouts seem unattainable. SIX consecutive All-Star games, 8 wins in a row with five shutouts in his debut, winning 21 games in 1986, pitching no hit or run to St. Louis in 1990. In addition, he was extraordinary on offense, he has Silver Bat in three years, (81, 86 and 89). Most wins in 1986 with 21. Leader in complete games in National League in 1981 with 11. Julius Caesar is in the process of achieving his first distinctions. From the Toro Valenzuela, through Higuera, no Mexican had managed to capture the attention in each outing. NOW, the left-hander who belongs to Tomateros de Culiacán, is on his way to becoming the fourth pitcher in the history of Aztec baseball to capture 20 or more wins, where the protagonist of the Fernandomania, Esteban Loaiza with White Sox in 2003, both with 21, and Higuera with 20 appear. At the rate presented by Urias, it will not take long for the particular prizes. To do this, you must maintain consistency, humility and take care of yourself to avoid injuries as much as possible.
