Maybe the best quality of Hess that hasn't been mentioned

Best for me watching lol

You think that is his best quality

Oh ok....maybe not his best....but I think it goes hand-in-hand with the rest of what he does. With how locked in and intense he is, time between pitches might throw off his concentration. I'm glad he gets it and chucks it

It's important for his style, yes

I've said forever college baseball games last too long. Just throw the ball already! And some of the blame goes to batters who step out all the time....but they step out because the pitcher takes too long.

I recall Poche being faster that way last year, but he appears to have slowed down. I wonder if it just happened naturally, it was based on instruction, or I imagined it.

Its not really a quality of Hess at all, but I really liked the dull/dark purple laces on his glove. Just something i noticed that that struck me. Geaux Tigers

People aren't wanting him to start this year But he's absolutely a starter next year

Manieri might start him because the kid really wants to. But his natural role is relief. His velocity doesn't hold up well (cue the knuckleheads who think conditioning is the be all and end all); he doesn't have a third pitch; and he is a dominant closer.

I won't predict what WILL happen, because CPM has to take the kid's wishes into consideration, but I'd bet my last dollar CPM wants to keep him in the closer role.

Okay, I'll predict. Hess starts, the rant is disappointed in his 3.5 ERA, CPM moves him to closer for the postseason

In short, Hess is a mean motor scooter and a bad go-getter

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaah...... it's GSTFD....
