A second-year Gatemen by way of Longhorn country, Urban is looking to improve on his first year in Wareham, where he went just 1-4 with a 5.26 ERA in seven starts.

            Through 39.1 innings of work, he struck out 24, walked 17, and allowed 43 hits with the Gatemen.

            This past spring at Texas, he got off to a hot sophomore start, posting a 2.65 ERA in his opening 13 appearances – all out of the bullpen. In 17 innings, he struck out 23 against 10 walks and 12 hits allowed.

            As a freshman last spring, Urban was a Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll selection for his in-class work, but saw minimal on-field action. He appeared in three games, registering a 0-0 record with a 3.00 ERA and four strikeouts (two walks) in three innings.

            Urban has expressed an interest in majoring in communications at Texas.
