Julio is a highly intriguing young arm with a frame and projection that stand out immediately. Still at just 14 years old (and 10 months), he already owns a long, physical 6-2, 183-pound build that looks the part of a future starter. In his bullpen, he worked 82-84 mph with the fastball and 2200+ spin, showing early signs of life and carry through the zone. His secondary mix showed advanced feel for his age, featuring a 71-74 mph curveball with 2400+ spin, a 71-73 mph sweeping slider with strong horizontal action. He rounded out his mix with a developing changeup at 75-77 mph, spinning it at 1800+ rpm. While still a work in progress, he flashed one changeup with true late dive, hinting at a potential fourth weapon as he continues to refine the pitch. Expected to see time this spring on varsity at Vista Murrieta as both a pitcher and potential corner outfield bat, Julio is already a 2029 name to circle in Southern California, with upside that will continue to grow as he develops.
