Uncommitted 2024 RHP Lewis Foster was one of the more highly anticipated arms we have here in Cocoa and the 6-foot-4, 200-pound right-hander impressed with swing/miss stuff. The NRS product sat 85-87mph (T87.7) and although it was erratic at times, he was difficult to touch when working in the zone. Worked with a curveball, changeup and splitter although he didn’t need to use much offspeed through his outing. Intriguing uncommitted 2024 arm who should be on college coaches radar.

Coming from a smaller program in East York, there was some buzz in the air Friday night to see how Foster would fare against some of Ontario’s big bats. The 6-foot-4, 177-pound right-hander wasn’t fazed, attacking hitters with a fastball that sat 82-84, topping out at 85. He works downhill and was able to locate up and down with the fastball, upstairs for swing/misses. There’s also feel to spin the curve at 75-77. Size, pitchability, projectability and he can spin it. A name you can expect to make a jump in the next rankings update.
