Camilo Alberto Pascual Lus (born January 20, 1934) is a Cuban former Major League Baseball right-handed pitcher.

[6][7] The latter team was made up largely of Cuban players signed by Washington Senator's scout Joe Cambria, including future Minnesota Twins teammate Julio Bécquer.

Despite his less than overwhelming stats, the 18-year-old Pascual was signed by the Washington Senators as an amateur free agent prior to the start of the 1952 season.

[1][7] Pascual would spend the 1952 season in Class-B pitching for the Havana Cubans and the Tampa Smokers in the Florida International League, improving to an 8–6 record with a 2.88 ERA and only 66 walks in 122 innings over 24 games.

Pascual learned his renowned curveball from Cuban pitching legend and Marianao manager Adolfo Luque.

He would be back with the Florida League's Havana Cubans for the entire 1953 season, and would compile similar stats as the year before (10-6, 3.00 ERA, 68 walks, 141 Inn in 25 games).

[7][6] Following the 1953 season, he was traded from Marianao to his hometown Elefantes de Cienfuegos in the Cuban League, competing for the Caribbean World Series.

[6][11][12] Pascual would go north with the Senators in 1954 and would make his major league debut on April 15, mopping up the last 3 innings of a 6–1 loss to the Boston Red Sox for losing pitcher Bob Porterfield.

[13] The 20-year-old Pascual would put in an encouraging rookie season for the 66–88 Senators, finishing 4–7 with a 4.22 ERA, 3 saves and one complete game in 48 appearances (3 starts).

[6] He recovered in time for the team's stretch run and American League pennant win, but lost his World Series matchup with Claude Osteen in Game 3 against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

[23] Seeing the writing on the wall, the Twins traded Pascual and once-promising second baseman Bernie Allen on December 3, 1966 to the new Washington Senators for 35-year-old relief pitcher Ron Kline.

He won a total of 25 games while leading the Senator' staff in wins and finishing second in both innings and strikeouts both seasons.

[36] However, he was also in the top 10 in the league in walks and home runs allowed five times in his career[citation needed] and is 87th[37] and 120th[38] all-time in those categories as of the start of the 2025 season.

[44][45][46][47] Among the major leaguers Pascual has signed are Jose Canseco, Alex Cora, Omar Daal, Miguel Cairo, and Franklin Gutiérrez.

[6] His six victories in the Caribbean Series ties him with José Bracho and Rubén Gómez for the most all-time wins in the tournament.

[citation needed] On May 29, 2010, he was elected in the inaugural class of the Latino Baseball Hall of Fame at the Roman Amphitheater in Altos de Chavón, in the Dominican Republic.

[53] He was honored on February 18, 2017, when his name was added to the "Pitching Wall of Great Achievement" at the Ted Williams Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida.
