    View Draft Report
    Lewis is a 6-foot-5, 235-pound righthander coming off a strong 2022 season as the Friday night starter for UC Santa Barbara. He posted a 3.57 ERA over 88.1 innings with 107 strikeouts and 42 walks. Lewis' fastball isn't overpowering at 88-91 mph, but the pitch plays up with tremendous riding life. He also throws a 78-80 mph breaking ball, a changeup and a knuckleball that could be a viable pitch at the next level. Lewis will need to refine his control to stick as a starter, and adding a bit of velocity wouldn’t hurt either, but analytical teams are excited about his fastball data. Others are intrigued by his knuckleball and think it can become his primary weapon with more development.
