PBR: Describe yourself as a baseball player to those who have never seen you play:
Lewis: I turn 15 the end of May, will be a sophomore next year. I’m almost 5-10”, thin, long legs, big hands. I pitch and play the outfield. Pitching is probably my primary position. Fastball around 70-72 mph.
PBR: What would be your dream school to play baseball at? If you have already committed to play at the next level, why did you choose that particular school?
Lewis: Grand Canyon State would be cool. My brother signed a LOI to play at York College in Nebraska, but I’m shooting for D1 or D2 at this point. Dallas Baptist or Colorado Christian would also be a good choice.
PBR: What are your best assets on and off the field at this point in your high school career?
Lewis: My faith and my family are very important to me. I have a good travel ball coach that I’ve been with for 4 years. On the field, I have good speed, power at the plate and a good arm. I have good mechanics on the mound.
PBR: What is the best baseball advice you have received and try to follow to this point in your career?
Lewis: My dad and I attended a NPA Tom House pitching Clinic in California in March. I heard a lot of good things from Tom that helped me and motivated me to work harder.
PBR: What does your off-season routine look like to prepare for the upcoming season?
Lewis: I use the TuffCuff workout and Tom House’s NPA workout guide. Towel drills, light weights, bands, heavy balls. 3 days a week outside of normal practice.
PBR: What are your superstitions or routines that go on during a season?
PBR: What are your goals for:
This Season:
Help my team win. Work on my control. Gain another 3-4 mph by the end of the year.
Two Years:
Throw low 80’s by my sophomore year.
Four Years:
Know where I plan on going to school.
