Ureña Emerges as Top Rookie Arm for Angels in 2025
The Angels right-hander has posted elite numbers this season, becoming the team's best rookie starter since Jaime Barria in 2018.
Wawbert Ureña has recorded 8 or more wins as a starter for the Angels, the first Angels rookie to reach that mark since Jaime Barria won 10 games in 2018. His 2.67 ERA over 107.2 innings ranks second among qualified MLB rookies. Opponents are hitting just .199 against him this season. His performance signals a reliable, high-upside starting pitcher for Los Angeles going forward.
