LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2005 National Showcase
Joey Lewis is a 2006 catcher/fisrt baseman from Senoia, GA with a big solid frame at 6-4, 210 lbs. This was his second time at the PG National Showcase and his overall game and skills has developed nicely during the past year. Lewis has a strong, solid build and looks very durable. His size doesn't affect his quickness, as he shifts quickly and has good range on pop ups and balls in front of the plate on defense. Lewis has very good arm strength and a quick transfer that enables him to consistently register pop times in the 1.9 range. Offensively, Lewis hits out of a slightly closed stance with no stride and a rock in load. He has a smooth, easy swing that has nice lift and extension in it. Lewis shows good power potential and can drive the ball hard and deep to the middle of the field. Overall, Lewis is a very polished and skilled young catcher with the type of build and strength scouts are looking for. He is a good student and has signed with Georgia.
