"Teheran was a two-time All-Star with the Braves in 2014 and 2016 and made six-consecutive Opening Day starts for the Braves from 2014 through 2019. He made his big league debut in 2011 at age 20 but didn't stick in the rotation until 2013. Teheran made 30 starts in '13, the first of seven-straight years he made 30-or-more starts in the Atlanta rotation."
"During his nine seasons with Atlanta, he pitched in 229 games - starting 226 times - tossing 1,360 innings for the Braves and leading the National League in starts in 2015. He was never dominant - he struck out just north of 20-percent of the batters he faced for most of his Atlanta run, with three years of a great walk-rate - but he was always solid."
"The right-handed Teheran, who just turned 35 six weeks ago, made only 22 starts after departing Atlanta following the 2019 season. He last pitched in the big leagues in 2024 - ironically enough, making a start against the Braves on April 8 of that season - but injuries and ineffectiveness stymied any additional big league appearances."
Julio Teheran announced his retirement on March 9, 2025, at age 35 following a shoulder injury that prevented him from pitching for Colombia in the World Baseball Classic. The right-handed pitcher spent nine seasons with the Atlanta Braves from 2011 to 2019, establishing himself as a reliable starter despite never achieving dominance. He was a two-time All-Star, made six consecutive Opening Day starts, and led the National League in starts in 2015. Over 229 games with Atlanta, Teheran pitched 1,360 innings while starting 226 times. After leaving the Braves, he made only 22 starts across five years, with his last major league appearance occurring in 2024 against Atlanta. Injuries and ineffectiveness prevented further big league opportunities.
