LOS ANGELES, CALIF. - Each week during the high school season we will announce the California Player of the Week covering the action from the previous week. Numerous players across the state continue to put up impressive numbers both as position players and pitchers on the mound. This year we will be selecting a Hitter and Pitcher of the Week based on recommendations from high school coaches from around California. 

Continuing from previous seasons, we will also be highlighting others players from across the state in our Prep Baseball California Diamond Notes which will be released weekly. Our Diamond Notes will highlight other players nominated by high school coaches who are deserving of recognition but were not named Hitter/Pitcher of the Week.

PITCHER OF THE WEEK

2027 RHP Ben Lewis of Santiago (Corona) High School has been named the California Pitcher of the Week after a stellar outing against league rival Roosevelt last week. 

The uncommitted righty tossed his first career no-hitter going seven innings with five strikeouts and no walks on just 78 pitches to add to his already strong season numbers. 

Lewis has been a streak stopper for Santiago this season as he moved his record to 5-0 on the season earning a win in every game he has started. He tossed 33 innings scattering 24 hits while allowing just six earned runs. He has amassed 37 strikeouts with 13 walks and currently holds a 1.20ERA for the Sharks who are currently in a tie for second place in league with an eye on the playoffs ahead.

We salute sophomore Ben Lewis on earning the Prep Baseball California Pitcher of the Week.
