Scouting Report

2026

Scouting grades: Fastball: 70 | Slider: 45 | Changeup: 50 | Control: 40 | Overall: 40

There might come a time when people look back and realize that the last month or so of the 2025 season is when Urena figured things out. Or they might point to it as an aberration. Urena, who went to Double-A to start the year, has a record of showing off impressive arm strength, albeit with very inconsistent results since signing for $140,000 in March 2021. For much of the year, he looked like the same guy -- huge velocity, poor production -- but was firing on all cylinders over his last several starts, finishing in Triple-A and getting added to the 40-man roster in the offseason.

Strong and just 6-feet tall, Urena has plenty of fastball, at least in terms of the radar gun. It averaged 96-97 mph in 2025 and topped out at 102. Relying more on the two-seam version, he does get ground-ball outs with the pitch, but it’s never missed many bats. The changeup -- sitting in the upper 80s with fade -- is his other solid Major League-caliber offering right now, and it can be an out pitch. He’s yet to find a breaking ball that works consistently, vacillating between a hard power curve and the slider he largely threw last year, with some thinking just going to a cutter would be best.

Because of the lack of a true out pitch and overall poor command (career 5.6 BB/9 rate), many people think Urena is headed to the bullpen soon. But over his last four starts of 2025, he struck out 33 percent of batters faced and walked just 7.2 percent. If that kind of success carries over, the 22-year-old could still find his way into a rotation.

2025

Scouting grades: Fastball: 70 | Curveball: 45 | Changeup: 50 | Control: 40 | Overall: 40

Ever since signing with the Angels in March of 2021 for $400,000, Urena has shown off almost freakish arm strength without having much of an idea of where it was going. He wasn’t able to make his pro debut until 2022 because of arm issues, but in his three seasons, going from the Arizona Complex League to Single-A Inland Empire in 2023 and up to High-A Tri-City in 2024, he’s been lighting up radar guns but struggling to find success in other facets of the mound game.

While he’s just six-feet tall, Urena shows off an upper-90s fastball that touches triple digits. There was some hope that switching to a two-seamer with sink would help his overall command, but that hasn’t been the case, though he does get a good amount of groundball outs. His changeup is still his second-best pitch, flashing above average with good fade and some bat-missing ability, and his breaking ball is now more of a hard power curve thrown with slider velocity, in the 83-86 mph range.

In the second half of the 2023 season, Urena cut his walk rate down, leading some to hope that the two-seamer switch was working. He was back up to walking 6.3 per nine, though he had a couple of better outings in July before he was shut down following a comebacker off of his foot. He needs to find a true out pitch, and most feel he’ll end up in a bullpen eventually, but the Angels don’t want to limit the 21-year old’s innings just yet.

2024

Scouting grades: Fastball: 70 | Slider: 45 | Changeup: 50 | Control: 40 | Overall: 40

The Angels signed Urena and his elite arm strength for $140,000 a couple of months into the 2020-21 international signing period, which didn’t begin until January 2021 because of the pandemic. A minor arm issue kicked his professional debut until 2022, when he showed the ability to miss bats (and the plate) in the Arizona Complex League. It was much of the same with a push to full-season ball in 2023, though a change in his repertoire may have him pointing in the right direction.

For much of the 2023 season, Urena was showing off his upper-90s fastball that touches triple digits to go along with his solid changeup and fringy slider, and little idea of where any of it was going. A switch to a two-seamer, a sinking fastball still with elite velocity made a huge difference as a pitch he could command more consistently, and he put up much better numbers late in the year. His mid-80s changeup has good fade and is still his best secondary offering, while his low-80s slider did improve some over the course of the year.

From the start of July through the end of the season, Urena cut his walk rate to 4.2 per nine innings, a huge improvement from his 7.7 rate in 2022 and what he had managed for the first half of 2023. There’s still a question of whether he can start long-term, with improvement of his breaking ball another key component. But if his command keeps trending in this direction, things could really click.

2023

Scouting grades: Fastball: 70 | Slider: 45 | Changeup: 50 | Control: 40 | Overall: 40

Part of a potentially robust 2020-21 international signing class, Urena signed with the Angels for $140,000 in March 2021, just over two months after the delayed period opened. He wasn’t able to make his debut that summer because of a minor arm issue, but threw well in Dominican instructs that fall. When he pitched well in extended spring training last year, the Angels felt comfortable in letting him make his debut stateside, where he missed a ton of bats and walked a ton of guys in the Arizona Complex League.

Urena is all about arm strength, coming from an undersized 6-foot frame. His fastball sat 97-98 mph and he touched 102 in the ACL last year. He backs it up with a changeup that flashes above average, a mid-80s offspeed offering with good fade. He has a slider, thrown in the low 80s, but it’s fringy at best and is a distant third pitch.

Developing that breaking ball and finding the strike zone more consistently are necessary for Urena to find success as he moves up the ladder. He doesn’t need pinpoint command to get outs because of his premium raw stuff, but he walked 7.7 per nine innings during his debut. The Angels love his makeup and they’ll let him start to work on the points of emphasis above, but a move to the bullpen eventually shouldn’t surprise anyone.

2022

Scouting grades: Fastball: 65 | Slider: 45 | Changeup: 50 | Control: 40 | Overall: 40

The delayed 2020-21 international signing period is shaping up to be a potentially fruitful one for the Angels. It was headlined by Denzer Guzman, who signed for $2 million right when the period opened in January 2021. Edgar Quero followed about a month later, signing for $200,000, and both are in the Angels’ Top 10. Urena, who got $140K at the end of March 2021 is looking like he has the raw ingredients during his professional debut this summer to join his classmates.

While he’s just 6 feet tall, Urena has big stuff, with the potential to have an electric three-pitch mix. It all starts with his premium fastball that has touched triple-digits and has sat in the 95-97 mph range in the Arizona Complex League. His best secondary pitch is his 83-87 mph changeup, which has good fade and flashes above-average. His low-80s slider is still a work in progress.

Just 18, Urena is working on finding the strike zone more consistently, but the Angels feel he has the chance to have decent command because of his athleticism and clean arm action on the mound. He has a long way to go, but he’s trending up. With his stuff, he could join Guzman and Quero closer to the top of this list in the future.

Pitch Movement

How this works: This section shows two different ways to evaluate pitch movement. On the left, “Total Movement” shows the real-world movement of a pitch, including the forces of gravity, which affects every pitch thrown. Since gravity requires time, and slower pitches aren't 'better' just because they have more time to move, a pitch's movement is compared to other pitches of the same pitch type, within +/- 2 MPH and +/- 0.5 feet of extension/release. On the right, Induced Movement (or IVB) is reported without gravity, and attempts to isolate movement created by the pitcher's ability to spin and manipulate the ball.
