Lewis

Lewis (first name unknown; fl. 1890) was an American professional baseball player who, in his sole career game, achieved the worst WHIP pitching statistic in the history of the short-lived Players' League (PL) of the 19th century. The game in question occurred on July 12, 1890, when Lewis played with the Buffalo Bisons. After asking the Bisons manager for a tryout and pitching three innings, his earned run average (ERA) of 60.00 and WHIP (walks plus hits per inning pitched) rate of 6.667 became the highest in the history of the PL. Lewis's first name, date of birth, date of death, as well as batting and pitching stance were not recorded.
