From BA's March 27th Prospect Report...
Peyton Pallette, RHP, White Sox: With their second-round pick in 2022, the White Sox made an upside play and took Peyton Pallette out of Arkansas. In his sophomore season, the righthander's three-pitch mix intrigued analysts thanks to a 93-95 mph fastball with excellent shape, a high-spin curveball in the high 70s and a high-80s changeup with enough movement to get whiffs and grounders.
Pallette never got to reinforce his draft stock during his junior year, which ended before it started because of preseason Tommy John surgery. He was back on the mound on Monday on the back fields for two-plus innings against the Brewers. He was excellent in his first inning, striking out all three hitters he faced with a fastball that touched 95 and a high-70s curveball. He threw 16 pitches and got five swings and misses in the frame
