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.
Â
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.
Â
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).
Â
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.
