4 years agoThere is no denying that Lewis has potential. He has the pedigree from being the first overall selection in the 2017 draft and he's a good athlete. His greatest attribute is perhaps his makeup and strong leadership skills. He's the kind of player that everyone roots for. But things aren't completely rosy with Lewis. His hit tool has a serious question mark despite showing flashes of brilliance in small sample sizes. Outside of rookie ball and low-A ball, he has been an average-to-below-average hitter in part because he struggles to square up the ball on a consistent basis. His offensive output has dipped with each promotion and his swing-and-miss tendencies have increased while the power numbers have decreased. Looking on the bright side of things, Lewis has consistently been one of the younger hitters in each of the leagues he's played in and he's said to be coachable and willing to learn. There are other things going in his favor, too. He has good speed, has shown the ability to steal more than 20 bases and he's displayed defensive versatility, which is something that always benefits a player's fantasy value. With an ADP in the 500 range, few are expecting Lewis to be a fantasy threat early on in the 2021 season. There is a chance that he'll see time later in the year but the acquisition of Andrelton Simmons likely pushes Lewis' MLB arrival closer to 2022. The young hitter has dynasty value but he's a little overrated in that area with safer bets to be had.--Marc Hulet - RotoBaller
