Newly released video footage obtained by the Los Angeles Times provides harrowing evidence of the domestic violence incident involving former Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Julio Urías. The footage, released months after Urías pleaded no contest to domestic battery charges, corroborates the disturbing allegations against the left-handed pitcher.
The video, captured by the California Highway Patrol, shows Urías rushing after his wife outside BMO Stadium in Los Angeles following an LAFC soccer match in September 2023. Bystanders witnessed the incident and attempted to intervene as Urías grabbed his wife's hair and shoulders, pushing her against a fence.

The Los Angeles District Attorney's Office decided to charge Urías with misdemeanor domestic battery despite his initial arrest for suspicion of felony domestic violence. The charging documents stated that neither the victim's injuries nor Urías's criminal history justified a felony filing.
In May 2023, Urías pleaded no contest to domestic battery charges and was sentenced to 36 months probation and 30 days of community labor. He was also required to complete a 52-week domestic violence counseling course, pay a domestic violence fund fee, refrain from possessing weapons, and adhere to a protective order.

Urías was placed on administrative leave by Major League Baseball (MLB) following his arrest. This incident marked the second time Urías faced allegations of domestic violence. In 2019, he was suspended 20 games after being arrested on suspicion of domestic battery, although he was not charged in that situation.
Prior to the incident, Urías had spent eight successful seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers, finishing third in the NL Cy Young Award voting in 2022 with an NL-best 2.16 ERA. In 2023, Urías pitched to a 4.60 ERA over 21 starts for the Dodgers.

The release of the arrest video has sparked outrage and calls for accountability. Domestic violence remains a prevalent issue in society, and incidents involving high-profile figures such as Urías highlight the need for swift and effective action.
Urías's attorney has not yet commented on the release of the video, but he previously stated that Urías is "deeply remorseful" for his actions. Urías has expressed his commitment to addressing his issues, and he has been working with a violence prevention expert.
The release of the video is a stark reminder of the consequences of domestic violence and the importance of holding perpetrators accountable for their actions. It also serves as a poignant example of the complexities of domestic violence cases, where factors such as the severity of the injuries, the victim's wishes, and the defendant's criminal history are taken into consideration.
