Watch: Yankees Top Pitching Prospect Tosses Unbelievable Professional Debut

Hess showed off his full repertoire including an absolutely nasty curveball during his last inning to strike out his eighth hitter of the day:

Hess was the No. 4 ranked prospect in the entire organization entering the day even before throwing a pitch in a game at the minor league level.

Though he is not expected to make his debut until 2027, if the right-hander continues to post performances like this, he will certainly find his way to the Major Leagues much sooner rather than later.

Still just 22 years old, the Illinois native obviously has a ton of work to do and a lot to prove as he gets started on the often long journey to the big leagues.

However, with New York's core starting pitching starting to get older, the Yankees could be in crippling need for someone to step in and take command of the rotation a year or two from now.

It's a High-A rotation that's worth keeping a very close eye on with Hess along with fellow 2024 draft selection second round pick Bryce Cunningham — who went 5.0 innings giving up five hits and two runs in his debut this week as well — both being two names that could be headlining the Yankees staff a couple years down the line.

It's safe to say though that Hess is certainly looking the part just one game into his professional career.
