The life and times for Julio Teheran in an Atlanta Braves uniform was a tumultuous ride. Once a top-5 prospect in baseball, Teheran was expected to be the ace of the Braves rotation for years to come. And although he pitched in the top spot for many years, he didn’t quite live up to the lofty expectations.
By no means was it all bad. In fact there were some very good seasons.
Teheran was signed by the Braves in July of 2007 as the top 16-year-old pitcher in his signing class.
