This is a really skinny boy that with some extra pounds will be above 95-97 MPH. He has an excellent changeup (80-83 MPH), a very good sinker (88-90 MPH) and an above average curveball (75-78 MPH). But what amaze me the most about this kid is the control in his pitches, the ability to throw strikes on perfect target and strikeout batters with his aggressiveness. I’ve never seen a team score a run against him in the three games I have seen him pitch. About his pitching mechanics, I’ve never seen before something more similar to Roger Clemens than Julio’s movements. This boy is a potential ace that everyday gets better and better. His evolution from October 2006 to May 2007 is unbelievable. I’ve seen this prospect (Julio Theran) pitch twice this year and his fastball was in 93-94 MPH.
