    Louisiana-Lafayette boasts two of the state's top college pitchers in righthanders Jason Fernandez and Chad Beck. Fernandez is the only draft-eligible member among the Cajuns' top four pitchers, all of whom finished with sub-3.00 ERAs. He has an 88-92 mph fastball and a good slider. Beck originally signed with Louisiana-Lafayette as a football player and wound up at Panola (Texas) Junior College before joining the Cajuns this season. He has better pure stuff than Fernandez, throwing in the low 90s, but doesn't have nearly the same command. Beck's younger brother Casey, a righthander at San Jacinto (Texas) Junior College, is one of the draft's top juco prospects.
