Pitching
He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. Julio's fastball is a tick above average, in the 90-91 MPH range on most nights. Julio has no endurance. He's good for an inning an outing, tops. This man owns lefties. Put it this way, if your lineup is full of them, you might want rethink your lineup.

Defense & Hitting
He fields both bunts and slow groundballs in front of the plate equally well. Julio's move to first base is average. Julio is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Julio has some pop in his swing.

2010 Outlook
The Sacramento Knights signed him to a long-term contract, but don't think they won't drop Julio like a hot potato if something better comes along.
