Here is a scouting report on Urbina from Baseball America:
Juan Urbina, who has a slender 6-foot-1 frame, throws an 88-89 mphfastball that some scouts say has touched 90-91. With a loose arm and a projectable body, Urbina'a fastball projects as a future plus if not plus-plus pitch. Urbina also has a curveball that could be a future plus offering, with a smooth delivery and a clean follow-through.
