RHP James Hess (Charleston, 2023) was an intriguing 6-foot-3, 185-pound right-hander who displayed a quality three-pitch mix. His fastball played heavy through the zone with sinking action, sitting at 82-83 mph from a ¾ slot. His slider looked to have out-pitch potential, playing with sharp 10/4 shape with late bite, 74-75 mph. Hess’ final offering was a late sinking changeup at 75-76 mph, thrown with intent and for strikes.
