COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (May 4, 2026) – Washington State lefthander Nick Lewis was named Mountain West Conference Pitcher of the Week, the conference office announced Monday.
Lewis earned his team-leading seventh win of the season after firing a complete-game five-hitter to open WSU's series win against Fresno State. The Cougars won their fifth-straight weekend series for the first time since 1999. The redshirt-sophomore allowed just one unearned run in the Cougars 5-1 win Friday evening to earn the most wins since 2015. Lewis earns his second career conference weekly award after earning Mountain West Pitcher and Freshman of the Week last season.
Lewis is 7-2, tying for the league lead in wins, leading the conference with a 3.50 ERA and 74.2 innings, and fourth in batting average against (.254).
This is WSU's fifth player of the week award of the season after earning three MWC Freshman of the Week honors earlier this season; catcher Alexandre Giguère (March 9), outfielder Matt Priest (March 23, March 30), and August Richie was named the Pitcher of the Week April 13.
