Julio Urías rose to prominence as a teenage phenom from Culiacán, making his major league debut at 19. An eye problem, one he’s dealt with since birth, only fueled the attention. He was the boy with the bad left eye and the great left arm. latimes.com/sports/dodgers… 
Urías has been reluctant to discuss his eye in detail. U.S.-based English-language reporters hesitated to travel to Sinaloa to examine his origins because, frankly, they thought the region to be too dangerous. latimes.com/sports/dodgers…
Dive into Julio Urías’ rough upbringing and how it fueled him, his dozen or so eye surgeries, his rapid ascent as a professional baseball player, his shoulder surgery, and his arrest in 2019. latimes.com/sports/dodgers…
Along with photographer @WallySkalij, @jorgecastillo spent time with his family, friends and Julio Urías, himself. It’s a story on the #Dodgers’ ace that hasn’t been done, one that attempts to shed a light on the famous but private pitcher. latimes.com/sports/dodgers…
