Fastball
Hop+
A fastball with hop has a flat approach angle and visually jumps through the zone. When thrown up in the zone, it is more likely to generate a higher swing and miss average. Hop+ of 100 is MLB average.
Fastball
Sink+
A fastball with sink has low backspin and drops through the strike zone. When thrown down in the zone, it is more likely to generate a higher ground ball percentage and lower launch angle. Sink+ of 100 is MLB average.
Fastball
Rise+
A fastball with rise has a high percentage of backspin. When thrown up in the zone, it is more likely to generate a higher fly ball percentage. Rise+ of 100 is MLB average

Lewis stands 6-foot, 175-pound athletic frame. Simple, repeatable, low effort delivery. Hands break in rhythm, full loose arm swing, and lands slightly closed at stride. Throws from a three-quarter arm action. Lewis worked three three innings and put up five strikeouts along the way. Lewis was very efficient early in counts and showed the ability to start and finish counts with the breaking ball. The fastball sat at 80-82 mph early on and worked the edges of the zone well. The breaking ball was the go to offering on the day, as he threw it at will. Any count and versus any hitter. The 70-72 mph offering flashed some downer bite when down he got in down in the zone and got a few of his punchouts there. Is not an overpowering arm, but understands how to pitch and is not afraid to win the battle with spin.
VA/MD State Games
6-foot, 175-pound long lanky frame. Fluid projectable in the box, Lewis clocked an exit velocity of 91 mph. (68.0 mph bat speed average). (24.3 mph hand speed average). Started in a tall open stance with a controlled smooth load, then used a toe tap stride. Has raw present bat speed, simple swing plane and balanced good extension on his finish. Found some barrels with loud contact. Gap to gap aggressive approach. Solid in the outfield, he showed the ability to make throws to the bases at 84 mph; has a clean exchange, sure hands, and choppy rhythmic feet. Fielded the ball out front with athletic movement laterally. Showed consistent accuracy to the bag with a quick short arm action and a high ¾ slot. Recorded a 60 time of 7.48 at the event. Solid projectable on the mound, showed a ¾ arm angle and a loose consistent arm action with quick arm speed. Tilt-and-topple type pitcher and shows some effort. Tall balance point with in line shoulders. Lands square with an athletic finish. Threw his fastball 82-84 mph and topped out at 86 mph; showed both sides of the plate command and deceiving tailing action. (Max spin 2390; Avg 2295). Threw a 11/5 curveball (68-71) with command around the zone and tight deceiving action. (Max spin 2214; Avg 2155).
VA/DC PreSeason All-State Central
Lewis is 6-0 with a lanky athletic 175 pound frame that has a lot of projection left to it.

Ran a 7.56 60 yard dash. On the mound, he throws from a high three-quarters arm slot, long free arm action and normal effort to his delivery. Varies timing to his drop and drive delivery, shoulders are uphill and closed, lands on line with an athletic finish. Fastball was 77-80, touching 81, with some downward angle and a bit of late armside run to it with some sink as well. Curveball was 63-65 with good armspeed and sharp 11/5 break to it. Change-up was 68-71 with good armspeed and heavy sink.
