A local baseball talent will take the next step of his baseball career this season.
Sam Lewis, a minor league prospect for the Arizona Diamondbacks, will test free agency next season after two years in their farm system. Lewis will now embark on a new journey at pitcher either in relief or in a starting role.
In seven full seasons in the minor leagues, Lewis has a 22-16 overall record and has 265 strikeouts with time out of the bullpen and a starter. Lewis, a Horseheads graduate, made it all the way to Class AA ball for the Jackson Generals before battling injuries this past season in Tennessee.
18 Sports will continue to follow Lewis’s next move as it develops.
