Ben Hess Earns Invite to MLB Spring Training
New York Yankees right-handed prospect pitcher Ben Hess earned an invite to MLB spring training. Hess is currently ranked as the team's No. 6 prospect by MLB Pipeline and could make a strong case in camp to begin the 2026 season with Triple-A. Hess joined the Yankees with the 26th overall selection in the 2024 MLB Draft out of Alabama. In 2025, the right-hander made his professional debut. He began his career with Low-A, where he logged 66 2/3 innings to the tune of a 3.51 ERA and a 1.14 WHIP. He racked up an elite 94 punchouts over this stint. He was then bumped up to Double-A Somerset, where Hess was even more dominant, posting a 2.70 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, and a 45:13 K:BB through 36 2/3 innings. Given his quick progression throughout the system, a 2026 MLB debut is in play.
