Julio Urías wins Warren Spahn Award for second straight year

Julio Urías has once again won the Warren Spahn Award, the Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame announced. The honor is given to one left-handed pitcher each season, and Urías is one of five pitchers to have received it multiple times.

A Cy Young finalist, All-MLB Team and National League Outstanding Pitcher award nominee, and MVP vote-getter this year, Urías had one spectacular season. The starter led the National League with a 194 ERA+ and career-best 2.16 ERA, finished second in wins (17), and was third in both WHIP (0.931) and batting average allowed (.199).
