Julio Zuleta -- By Mike
WhisanteJulio is a power hitting first baseman for
the West Tennesse Diamond Jaxs. He was selected to the Double-A All-star
squad in 1999. He is having a huge season so far this year. However for
him to make it to the bigs, he will have to find a new position or a new
team.
I watched Julio play a couple games this year. To me he looks like he
could play the outfield. Early in his career, while playing catcher, he
was impatient and his strike zone judgment was horrible. Since becoming a
first baseman last year his strike zone judgment has improved big time. He
now is hitting for average and power. This is what any big league team
would love to have in there lineup.
Last year at Daytona, he batted .344 with 16 home rubs and 86 RBIs. His
stats this year are awesome .297 29 Doubles 21 home runs and
97 RBIs.
