2026 Fantasy Outlook
Hess logged a 2.70 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 45:13 K:BB in 36.2 innings over seven starts at Double-A to close 2025. The Yankees selected Hess with the 26th pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft, and he logged 22 starts and 103.1 innings in his first pro season. Hess, who was promoted from High-A Hudson Valley to Double-A on Aug. 5, had a strong 33 percent strikeout rate on the year, but his 10.9 percent walk rate was a tad high. Hess has a couple plus pitches in his mid-90s fastball and mid-70s curveball, while his slider and changeup lag behind. He should spend the bulk of 2026 at Triple-A, but a summer promotion to the big leagues is in play if Hess picks up where he left off last season. Read Past Outlooks
Back in action
Hess (undisclosed) was reinstated from the 7-day injured list and pitched 1.1 innings, allowing one run on three hits while striking out one batter with Double-A Somerset on Thursday, Matt Kardos of Double-A Somerset's official site reports.
Analysis
Hess made his return to action after missing nearly a month with an unspecified injury. The right-hander is considered to be one of the Yankees' top overall prospects, and he'll look to get on a roll with Somerset moving forward.
