    While Lewis recovered from Tommy John surgery at Ohio State, senior LHP Josh Newman assumed the role of Friday starter for the Buckeyes. He was drafted by the Reds in the 31st round last year, but was not as consistent this spring as he was in 2003. He's a bulldog competitor and capable of throwing three pitches for strikes, but his velocity fluctuated from 88-90 mph in some starts to 83-84 in others.
