Jorge Dandys Julio (born March 3, 1979 in Caracas, Venezuela) is a Major League Baseball right-handed relief pitcher who plays for the Baltimore Orioles. Julio was signed by the Montreal Expos as a non-draft amateur free agent in 1996, and was traded to the Orioles in 2000. He made his debut in the 2001 season.

Currently, Julio is the Orioles' closer. He depends primarly on his hard four-seam fastball, which he throws at least 75 % of the time, and hits in the 95-98 MPH range. His second-best pitch is an effective slider. He also throws an occasional changeup. Julio does not have a good move to first base, which makes him a fairly easy mark for opposing baserunners. He does get off the mound quickly and handled all defensive chances cleanly.

In 149 games, Julio has a record of 6-14 with 129 strikeouts, a 3.22 ERA, and 61 saves in 151 innings pitchedIn baseball, innings pitched IP are the number of innings a pitcher has completed, measured by the number of batters and runners that are put out while the pitcher is in the game.
