It remains to be seen whether Lewis will stay in the majors after Korea’s return (and in fact, only how long will he stay in Korea), but he will be the first taste of the majors in the top overall pick in the 2017 amateur draft. Although he has proven he can take on Triple-A competition so far in 2022, he has played just 56 games over High-A in his minor league career.
