Julio Urias is one of first four Dodgers reassigned to minor camp
The first cut is the deepest, particularly if you’re one of the four sent out. And especially if you’re been hyped as much as left-hander Julio Urias.
But Urias, the 18-year-old wunderkind, was one of the first four players reassigned to the minor-league camp Saturday by the Dodgers.
Pitchers Chris Anderson, Ryan Buchter and Josh Ravin were also reassigned in the first cuts from the Dodgers’ 2015 major-league camp.
Despite his electric stuff, Urias looked like a teenager who could use some more seasoning in his two spring outings. In his two innings he allowed one run on three hits, three walks and a wild pitch, with two strikeouts.
Anderson also allowed one run in two appearances. The 2013 first-round pick had one walk and strikeout, and allowed one hit.
Ravin was impressive in his three spring games, not allowing a run, hit or walk in his 2 2/3 innings, striking out four. Buchter threw three innings, allowing a run on two hits. He did not walk a batter and struck out three.
Despite the moves, the Dodgers still have 58 players in camp. Their minor-league camp opened Saturday.
