Scouting Report

A fifth-round Draft pick in 2014 out of Tennessee Tech, Hess made steady progress early in his career while reaching Double-A in his first full season. Though he struggled the following year over a full season in the Eastern League, Hess rebounded in his return to the level in 2017, posting a 3.85 ERA and logging a career-high 154 1/3 innings, and the Orioles added him to their 40-man roster after the season.

Hess attacks the zone from an over-the-top slot that helps him achieve downhill plane with a fastball that ranges from 89-95 mph and usually sits around 93. Both his slider and curveball are average offerings, with the former currently grading ahead of the latter, though he can get caught between them at times. He also has a serviceable changeup that plays against left-handed hitters and demonstrates average control of his four-pitch mix.

Questions remain about whether Hess, with his high-effort delivery and lack of an out pitch, can remain a starter. It's long been thought that his stuff would play up in short bursts out of the bullpen, where his fastball-breaking ball pairing could make him a force against right-handed hitters.

Pitch Movement

How this works: Every pitch is affected by the forces of gravity, which means that every pitch drops on its way from the mound to the plate. These numbers are reported with gravity, which makes them larger and different than other pitch movement numbers you may have seen. Since gravity requires time, and slower pitches aren’t ‘better’ just because they have more time to move, the movement of a pitch is compared to ‘average’ movement by comparing it to other MLB pitch types within +/- 2 MPH and from within +/- 0.5 feet of extension and release.
