Colby Preston Lewis (born August 2, 1979), popularly nicknamed "Cobra", is a former American professional baseball pitcher.
He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Detroit Tigers, Oakland Athletics, and Texas Rangers and in Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) for the Hiroshima Toyo Carp.
Lewis was originally a first-round draft choice (sandwich pick) of the Texas Rangers in the 1999 Major League Baseball Draft and made his major league debut in.
Lewis was the 38th overall player selected in the 1999 Major League Baseball Draft.
He was a highly regarded prospect coming up in the Rangers' system and in three seasons with them had a career ERA of 6.83.
Of particular note was his unusual season, where he managed to post a winning record of 10–9 in 26 starts despite a 7.30 ERA.
Lewis suffered an injury early in the season and missed most of the year after undergoing rotator cuff surgery.
He was claimed off waivers by the Detroit Tigers after the 2004 season.
Lewis made only 2 appearances in 2006 with an ERA of exactly 3.00.
Lewis would also be eligible to participate in the postseason despite his short tenured 2006 season.
The Tigers ventured in the postseason but lost in the World Series to the St. Louis Cardinals.
In 2007, Lewis signed a minor league deal for the Washington Nationals.
On March 20,, the Nationals released him.
About 4 days after his release from the Nationals, Lewis signed a minor league deal for the Oakland Athletics.
Lewis began 2007 on the A's Triple-A team, the Sacramento River Cats, where he posted an 8–3 record with a 1.88 ERA.
The A's, in need of another starting pitcher to replace the injured Rich Harden, called up Lewis on May 22, 2007.
He started the game that day against the Chicago White Sox.
His A's debut was a disaster as he pitched 3.1 innings and gave up 10 runs on 12 hits in the A's 10–4 loss.
He was immediately sent to the bullpen after that start.
Lewis finished the 2007 season with an 0–2 record and a 6.45 ERA in 26 games.
Following the 2007 season, on November 2, 2007, Lewis was claimed off waivers by Kansas City Royals; he was then released on December 5, 2007.
He played for the Hiroshima Toyo Carp of Japan's Central League from 2008 to 2009, during which he won two awards for most strikeouts.

(The designated hitter rule is not used in the Central League except in interleague games.) He has 5 NPB career home runs (2 in 2008 and 3 in 2009).
His 2009 season with the Carp was equally successful.
Lewis finished with 186 strikeouts, again leading the league.
Although his performance was outstanding, he resigned from the team in hopes of pitching once again in the Major Leagues.
He is also renowned for home runs, which is unusual for a pitcher.
Upon his return to the Rangers, he helped lead the team to two consecutive American League pennants in 2010 and 2011.

On October 16, Lewis started Game 2 of the 2010 American League Championship Series at home against the New York Yankees.
Lewis went 5.2 innings and gave up 2 earned runs on 6 hits.
However, he earned the decision, and became the first Ranger pitcher to win a post-season home game in franchise history.
On October 22, Lewis started Game 6 of the American League Championship Series, also at home, against the New York Yankees.
He pitched 8 innings, allowing 1 run on 3 hits, aiding the Rangers to a decisive 6–1 victory.
