Urena got the start at third base in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Mets, going 1-for-2 with a double and a run scored.
Scouting Report
Possesses soft hands, excellent defensive instincts and a very strong throwing arm. Has added switch-hitting to his offensive game, which adds to his overall value. Needs to become a more consistent hitter for average, especially from the right side, in order to maximize offensive output in MLB. Lacks elite speed.
Long Range Potential: Solid, switch-hitting infielder with upside.
