Former scouting director Chuck McMichael produced promising drafts and increased the Rangers' presence in the Dominican Republic. Urena, who ha an above-average fastbook, came out of the club's operation in Santiago. He pitches down in the strike zone and didn't allow a homer in his U.S. debut last season. Urena must choose between his slider and curveball because the pitches are too similar. At this point, the slider is the better pitch. He's still learning a changeup, which he'll need to progress.
