Josiah
Lewis

1.20.19
Lewis has a long-limbed, lean-muscular frame at 6-foot-1, 175-pounds. He ran the fastest 60 time of the day at 6.82-seconds. The right-handed hitter starts from an open, tall stance, then triggers his hands down and back as he strides forward, landing with separation. Simple swing that he repeats well, hands work on a mostly flat path with a loose finish. Hard contact during BP with gap power, carry to the pull side, and top exit velocity of 87 mph. In the outfield, Lewis plays through the ball with smooth rhtyhm and quick footwork, exchanging the ball with soft hands, creating good tempo into a clean arm swing with a top velocity to the plate of 84 mph. On the mound, the right-hander works from a ¾ slot with a long, clean arm swing, high leg lift and a tall-and-fall delivery. His fastball sat 82-84 mph with slight arm side run. He was around the zone with all three pitches, including his curveball that had short break and 10/4 rotation at 70-73 mph. Maintains arm speed on his changeup, throwing it at 78-80 mph with arm side fade.

1.5.19
Lewis has an athletic frame at 6-foot-1, 180-pounds, with a lean-muscular build. A long stride runner, he started the day with a 6.82 60-yard dash. The right-handed hitter starts from a tall, narrow stance, then triggers his hands down as he uses a low-hanging knee-to-knee leg lift before striding forward, walking away from his hands and sinking into his front side. Delivers the barrel with authority for a young player (90 mph exit velocity), with strong hands and loose finish, flashing pull side pop on a home run foul. In the outfield, he plays through the ball with rhythm in his footwork and an easy crow hop that allows his arm to work well with a top velocity to the plate of 86 mph.
