Julio Cesar Machado is a 6′, 185 lb. second baseman, third baseman, and shortstop from Ocumare del Tuy, Venezuela, the same origin as fellow Miami Marlins player Elieser Hernandez. Machado was born on September 12th, 2000, which means he completed his first professional season at an age where most of us hadn’t completed high school.
Machado reported to the DSL Marlins in the rookie-level, Dominican Summer League for his first professional appearance. In his debut, on DSL’s Opening Day, June 2nd, Machado led off and produced an 0-for-4 day in a 2-1 loss to the DSL Braves.
