STOCKTON – When Torrey Pines senior Peyton Rodgers, an all-state pitcher in 2023, was out-dueled by Granite Hills’ Brenden Lewis in the CIF San Diego Section Open Division playoffs, the only difference was three unearned runs for the Falcons on the way to the championship.
So if the better pitcher that day was Lewis, even though Granite Hills fell, what did the committee for the CalHiSports all-0state team to?
They selected both standout performers.
Both Lewis and Rodgers were first team selection to the 2024 all-state first team, with Lewis selected as a multi-purpose performer and both a pitcher and shortstop, while Rodgers gained a berth for his work on the mound.
On Lewis, CalHiSports said on the Eagleas’ junior
He was almost State Freshman of the Year in 2022 (that one went to Etiwanda’s Brady Ebel) and has continued to rank among the top prospects in the state for the Class of 2025. Lewis took it another step further this season as he was the CIF San Diego Section Player of the Year. Granite Hills didn’t win the Open Division section title but was near the top of the section rankings all season. Lewis is mostly ranked as an infielder, but he’s multi-purpose for this team. As a pitcher, he ended 9-3 with a 0.80 ERA. For hitting, Brenden batted .382 with three homers, 19 runs scored and 17 RBI. He also was one of the section’s top receivers in football last fall and helped Granite Hills win the SD Section Open Division title.”
