JULIO NAVARRO

ALPHABETIC LIST OF
THE 50 BRAVES PLAYERS OF THE 1970'S
WHO DIDN'T MAKE MY ORIGINAL 100 FAVORITE PLAYER LIST

#38 JULIO NAVARRO
ATLANTA BRAVES 1970


Julio Navarro pitched all but one of his career 130 major league games in relief. He hadn't pitched in the majors since 1966 when he got called up with the Braves in 1970. No decisions during his Atlanta tenure, but one save on July 10. 1970 against the Big Red Machine and struck out Johnny Bench late in the game to preserve the victory.

Additional stat: Julio pitched 532 career minor league games (winning 146)  between the years 1955 and 1971.
