Cory Lewis

Lewis is a 6-foot-5, 235-pound righthander coming off a strong 2022 season as the Friday night starter for UC Santa Barbara. He posted a 3.57 ERA over 88.1 innings with 107 strikeouts and 42 walks. Lewis' fastball isn't overpowering at 88-91 mph, but the pitch plays up with tremendous riding life. He also throws a 78-80 mph breaking ball, a changeup and a knuckleball that could be a viable pitch at the next level. Lewis will need to refine his control to stick as a starter, and adding a bit of velocity wouldn’t hurt either, but analytical teams are excited about his fastball data.
