PULLMAN, Wash. (June 9, 2026) – Washington State lefthander Nick Lewis picked up another accolade Tuesday, earning a spot on the ABCA All-West Region Second Team, as voted on by the college coaches in the West Region.
Lewis was named the 2026 Mountain West Conference Pitcher of the Year, WSU's first conference pitcher of the year in program history, and was also selected to both All-Tournament Teams at the Mountain West Conference Tournament and Eugene NCAA Regional. The redshirt-sophomore from Corona, Calif. finished the season with a 10-2 record and 2.97 ERA in 100 innings, WSU's first 10-game winner since 2000.
Lewis is the first Cougar pitcher to earn All-Region honors since Jason Evenhus in 1993.
Lewis was at his best in the postseason, striking out a career-high 11 and allowed one unearned run in 8.2 innings of the quarterfinal win over Air Force at the Mountain West Conference Tournament. Lewis took the ball in WSU's first NCAA Tournament appearance and delivered in a big way, firing a complete game six-hitter to beat seventh-ranked Oregon State in the opening round of the Eugene Regional.
Washington State finished the season with a 31-28 record, the most wins since the 2010 season, including a Mountain West Conference Tournament championship, the first conference championship since 1976, and reached the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2010.
