Despite an inconsistent senior season at the plate, Lewis' plus-plus speed, athleticism and ability to play an up-the-middle position make for a tantalizing combination. There's some concern that his arm might not be strong enough to play shortstop, and there is a lack of consensus about about his power potential, but evaluators agree that he has a good feel for hitting and a consistent ability to barrel the ball up.
