MLB in 2023: The 25 Best Players

22. Julio Urias

2022 Stats: 17-7, 2.16 ERA, 166 SO, 0.960 WHIP

With Walker Buehler on the mend following Tommy John surgery, Julio Urias enters the 2023 season as the Los Angeles Dodgers’ ace. Despite being one of the best pitchers in baseball for the past two seasons, Urias continues to be overlooked by many. The lefty is 37-10 since 2021 and has a 2.57 ERA in that time — including a National League best 2.16 last season. Urias’ mix of pitches is improving each year he takes the mound. A free agent following the ’23 season, Urias will be the top pitcher on the market next offseason. Will the Dodgers splurge to keep him?
