#6 Julio Teheran<\/p>\n

Atlanta Braves<\/p>\n

DOB: 1\/27\/1991<\/p>\n

Pre-2011 Rank: 13<\/p>\n

ETA: 2011<\/p>\n

Teheran is the kind of guy every team loves to see atop their prospect list.\u00a0 Good build, athletic, aggressive, good makeup.\u00a0 Teheran is all of these and more.\u00a0 He features a four-pitch arsenal with his fastball, coming in anywhere from 94-97 mph, somehow not the best pitch he has.\u00a0 He also features a double-plus changeup with tremendous fade and plane.<\/p>\n

His mechanics are much cleaner now than they were at this time last year, and he should open the season in Atlanta.\u00a0 He made five appearances for the big club in 2011 and was bad, but he was also 20, and the ceiling on a guy like Teheran barely exists.\u00a0 The only thing holding him back right now is his breaking stuff.\u00a0 His slider and curveball are both below-average offerings, and we personally think anyone with Teheran\u2019s arm acceleration stands a better chance of learning to be aggressive out front with a slider than a curveball.\u00a0 His Triple-A numbers are outstanding, posting a 2.55 ERA in 144.2 innings.\u00a0 He struck out 122 and walked 48 and only allowed five Triple-A dingers all year.\u00a0 He\u2019s a stud and has really nothing left to prove on the farm.\u00a0 We expect Teheran to challenge for the NL Rookie of the Year award and then for some Cy Young\u2019s in a few years.<\/p>\n
