Lucas
Pajeau

Uncommitted, currently ranked No. 31 in Illinois. Athletic 5-foot-10 175-pound frame. Pajeau, also a toolsy position player, came out of the bullpen and continues to show promise on the mound. Short, clean arm stroke, ¾ slot with a quick, upside arm action. Upright in the stretch, then moves into a slower paced leg-lift that works out and around instead of directly towards the plate. Looks to have even more velocity in the tank. Fastball sat 84-86 mph with sink at the bottom of the zone. Featured a sharp, swing-and-miss curveball that works off an 11/5 plane at 63-67 mph. Changeup shows feel for the bottom of the zone at 77-79 mph. Threw 2 innings in the game, recording all of his outs via the strikeout. High-follow 2022 prospect.
