This is Julio Urías with his dad. The now 24-year-old Mexican pitcher finished the job and brought L.A. a World Series Dodgers win after nearly 32 years.

As a kid, Julio has a bad left eye but a thunderbolt left arm. He stepped into his first baseball league in Culiacan, Mexico, when he was five years old. https://www.google.com/amp/s/syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/2705743-the-revolution-is-at-hand-julio-urias-is-ready-to-be-las-next-great-star.amp.html">https://www.google.com/amp/s/syn...

Urías’s bad left eye was caused by a benign tumor that has been with him since birth.

He underwent three surgeries by the time he was two. As he grew, the swelling sort of molded to his bone structure around the eye. People were not sure if Urías could see out of it.

The pitching prodigy was eased into the major leagues as a teenager in 2016. He went from being treated with an abundance of caution by the Dodgers to becoming a workhorse. “As long as I’m healthy, I give it 100%,” Urías said. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.latimes.com/sports/dodgers/story/2020-10-20/dodgers-julio-urias-goes-from-abundance-of-caution-to-workhorse%3f_amp=true">https://www.google.com/amp/s/www...

In 2016, Urias’s dad, Carlos, proudly attended his son’s debut Dodgers game. He wasn’t nervous, he said. “I’m excited. It’s a dream to see my son on top of that little hill in a Major League game.” His son’s first pitch, he said, was proof of all the potential he saw in his boy.

“That& #39;s how God works. He gave me a bad left eye but a good left arm.” — Julio Urías #LosDoyers #WorldSeries https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> #Dodgers https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> #DodgersNation #LATogether https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
