Track Record: During his amateur career, Lewis truly was the king of Queens. He spent three seasons at Queens University of Charlotte and a summer with Queen City of the Southern Collegiate Baseball League. In his final season in college, he showed off a blend of power and speed that enticed the Yankees to take a chance on him in the 13th round in 2024. Those traits have translated to pro ball, and he opened eyes during his first full pro season.
Scouting Report: In a season split between both Class A stops, Lewis blended power and speed into a profile that could help him shoot up the rankings with a bit more polish. His impact potential showed up in a 90th percentile exit velocity of 107.7 mph that placed him in the same range as top prospects like Bryce Eldridge and Konnor Griffin. Lewis faces more questions about his hit tool thanks to mechanics that could leave him vulnerable to better pitching as he prepares to move into the upper levels. The Yankees worked with Lewis to make his actions in the batter’s box less stiff and rigid and add some malleability to his bat path. If the changes stick, he will increase his barrel accuracy and allow himself to do damage on a wider variety of pitches and locations. Defensively, Lewis is the best outfielder in the Yankees’ system. He uses plus speed and solid jumps and routes to lock down center field, and his strong, accurate arm makes him even more of a defensive asset. He was one of just 12 players in the minor leagues to hit 20 doubles and 20 home runs and steal 20 bases.
The Future: Lewis will likely return to High-A to begin 2026 but should reach the upper levels by season’s end. If properly developed, his tool set gives him the ceiling of an above-average everyday center fielder who can be a dynamic force on both sides of the ball.
