"Although Teherán hasn't been a factor at the MLB level in recent seasons, he had a strong career. A two-time All-Star, he pitched parts of 13 years in the big leagues. Teherán spent the bulk of his career with the Braves, who signed him for $850K as an amateur in 2008."
"Teherán made 30 starts and turned in a 3.20 earned run average across 185 2/3 innings. He finished fifth in NL Rookie of the Year balloting on a 96-win team that won the NL East. Teherán was hit hard in his one appearance during the Division Series, but he signed a six-year extension that winter and entered the following season as Atlanta's staff ace."
"He'd hold that title for the next few seasons. Teherán made his first of six straight Opening Day starts for the Braves in 2014. Although the mid-2010s were a rough stretch for the team, that wasn't any fault of Teherán's. He established himself as a durable and reliable mid-rotation caliber starter."
Julio Teherán, a 35-year-old right-handed pitcher, announced his retirement from baseball after experiencing shoulder discomfort during warm-ups for a World Baseball Classic game with Colombia. Signed by the Atlanta Braves as an amateur in 2008 for $850,000, Teherán had a notable 13-year MLB career. He made his debut in May 2011 at age 20 and quickly established himself as a top prospect. In 2013, his rookie season, he posted a 3.20 ERA across 185⅔ innings and finished fifth in NL Rookie of the Year voting. He became the Braves' staff ace, making six consecutive Opening Day starts beginning in 2014. Teherán was a two-time All-Star and demonstrated durability by topping 200 innings in consecutive seasons, including a career-high 221 innings with a 2.89 ERA.
