Julio César Urias Acosta has emerged as one of the best Mexican players in the Major Leagues in recent years. At the age of 25, he has a substantial history of events in his personal life, as well as in his career as a baseball player, which he has captured in his skin. In that sense, the pitcher from Culiacán, Sinaloa, explained the meaning of each of his tattoos to the Dominican sports journalist Ernesto Jerez.

One of the most recognized by the baseball player is the most recent of all his strokes. It consists of a portrait captured during his childhood where, together with his father, he exhibits a trophy. The scene depicted on his left chest is emotional, because that was the first championship that the culichi won with his father's hand. He even surpassed it above winning the World Series in 2020.

“It's my favorite (...) He won the World Series and I won the first championship I won with him. It's nice because my dad put himself on his arm (the scene) when I was celebrating. It's a very important championship for me, the most important one, but he already has him tattooed, now I got tattooed the first one I won since I started”, he said.

That's just one of the many strokes of ink on his skin. On the fingers of his right hand, which he does not usually show during games as a left-handed pitcher, is the year of his birth, that is, 1996. A few centimeters higher up there is also the geographical contour of his birth stage, that is, Sinaloa.

Among his extensive repertoire he gave a place to the representation of his religious devotion. One of the most imposing figures on his right forearm is the bust of St. Jude Thaddeus, a biblical figure in Catholicism of whom he has declared himself “very devoted”. On the right side there is also a phrase that Urias Acosta attributed to the Mexican speaker Daniel Habif.

“If your dreams don't frighten you, it's because you're still dreaming very low. Dream until your legs tremble”, reads on the inside of his right limb.
