Benito Lewis
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching Lewis also throws a screwball. Let's just say he's screwy on the field and off... so watch out for that devastating screwball! God, who doesn't love a knuckler? I saw a slow-motion version of one of his pitches on TV, it's no wonder they're unhittable! He changes speeds well enough to keep righthanders from teeing off on him.
Defense & Hitting He shows a good pickoff move and never lets runners detract from his pitching. Lewis is nothing special in the field. Lewis is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Lewis has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Lewis as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook Lewis isn't cutting the mustard in the low minors. It's time for Benito to investigate other career options, like coaching highschool ball. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Lewis.
