High Heat and Misdemeanors

Prosecutors charged Julio Urias with five misdemeanors in regards to his arrest due to alleged domestic violence.

The city attorney’s ruling comes three months after the L.A. County district attorney’s office ruled that it will not file felony charges against Urias, writing in its charge-evaluation worksheet on Jan. 9 that “neither the victim’s injuries nor the defendant’s criminal history justify a felony filing.”

Major League Baseball is also investigating the matter and was expected to wait until after the city attorney’s ruling to determine a potential suspension.

Urias, once one of the brightest young pitchers in the sport, could become the first player to be suspended twice under MLB’s domestic violence policy, which launched in September of 2015.
