FACTS/FLUKES: Urias, Skaggs, T. Joseph, Canha, N. Feliz

Highly-touted pitching prospect Julio Urías (LHP, LA) reached the majors at age 19 in 2016, and despite his young age, managed to deliver on sky-high expectations by posting a 3.39 ERA over 15 starts and three relief appearances. Were his skills as good as his surface stats?
