Zachary Hess, RHP, commits to LSU. He is from Lynchburg, Va.

Built like a truck, Hess is an appropriate name for this 6-foot-6 righthander. He throws from a deceptive lower three-quarters arm slot and generates heavy life on his fastball, which operated comfortably at 91-94 and touched 95 early. When his slider was on, it featured above-average bite and 10-to-4 shape. Hess consistently pounded the back foot of lefthanded hitters with his slider, and the late break on the pitch made it very difficult for hitters to lay off.
