Lewis
Clarke

Grown an inch (now 5-foot-11), and now appears stronger.  He's improved his arm strength as well, going from 78 to 80-81 MPH from the outfield.  He was a very aggressive outfielder last time we saw him, and looks even more comfortable now.  At the plate he showed a tremendous ability to get the bat quickly through the zone.  This time he also showed the ability to hit the ball to right field, as he hit 3 continuous line drives deep in the gap.  As an outfielder, Lewis is as good as it gets for a rising sophomore, and expect his numbers to jump even more as he grows and gains strength.

Clarke will be 2018 graduate at Saratoga Springs HS. This was PBR-NY's second look at Clarke as he attended the Futures Showcase in February of 2015. Clarke improved his 60 time, getting it down to 6.91 from 7.02, improving his OF velocity from 76 to 79 MPH and his exit velocity from 77 to 84 MPH. Defensively- Lewis was even more impressive was his in game play where he demonstrated a tremendous first step in the outfield, tracking down balls in the gap. Arm is accurate with room for additional growth, Will project as a next level center fielder. Offensively Lewis showed some explosive bat speed at the plate. Clarke has a bit of high leg kick but when he gets his foot down he can get through the zone quickly. His elongated and elevated finish, coupled with his speed will make him a extra base threat for years to come. 

Clark stands an athletic  5-foot-10, 160-pounds, with room for growth.  One of the best over players at our future stars showcase.  He shows next level speed (7.02  60 yd dash), bat speed (77 mph exit velocity), and arm strength (76mph) from the outfield.  At the plate Clark has an athletic closed stance and uses a soft but quick foot tap for timing.  His hands drop slightly before the swing, but hip explosion shortly after keeps his bat from dragging through the zone.  Stays inside the ball creating extension out over his front foot.  High finish.  Head stays calm and tracks the ball deep into the zone. Gap power to all fields.  In the outfield Clark attacks balls on the ground, has a smooth clean transfer to a crow hop.  High, long 3/4 arm slot. Throws downhill.  Goes back on the ball well, keeps the ball in front..  Someone to watch in the near future.
