The tremendous season that the Mexican, Julio Urías, had with the Los Angeles Dodgers made him the recipient of the National Sports Award given in Mexico City by the National Commission for Physical Culture and Sports (CONADE ), without a doubt, one more achievement in his career for the Sinaloa-born.
Julio Urías had an extraordinary season with the Dodgers, despite being eliminated from the National League championship series at the hands of the Atlanta Braves, who are currently contesting the World Series against the Houston Astros. .
The Mexican on more than one occasion saved the Los Angeles team from a defeat, even surpassing the record of Fernando Valenzuela, by winning 19 season games, beating his compatriot by two games.
These achievements earned him the National Sports Award in the Professional Sports category. It should be noted that the PND selects athletes, Paralympic athletes, and coaches for their achievements in a period from October 22, 2020 to October 10, 2021.
THE MLB DID NOT AWARD HIM WITH THE SILVER BAT
The Mexican Julio Urías agreed not to be invited to the all-star game and did not speak anything about it. However, the MLB made a bad play again in the race for the silver bat in the National League.
It is obvious that German Marquez of the Colorado Rockies looks like a favorite to win the silver bat of the National, Jacob Degrom was a criminal while he could and not to mention Max Fried, he looked like a professional left-handed hitter during the regulation.
What is not acceptable is the name of Madison Bumgarner among the finalists above Julio Urías, who is not even here. (Fielding)
