As Orioles rookie David Hess takes the mound for his sixth big league start Tuesday night against the Boston Red Sox, one month after he made his big league debut, he'll be doing something that any pitcher becomes familiar with on the way to majors.
Luckily for him, it's something the reams of information available for major leaguers makes a bit easier.
Hess will face a repeat opponent for the second time in a month, and though any pitcher who can navigate the minors does so by facing the same teams constantly, the 24-year-old says the thing that stands out to him most about this month is just what he has at his disposal at this level.
