The most impressive thing about LSU pitcher Zack Hess isn't his 97 miles per hour fastball.
Or how he can flip a switch from low-key, laid-back locker room dude to mound maniac.
Or that a year ago he was quizzing the Tigers' upperclassmen pitchers who have since departed and now he's the grizzled vet as a mere sophomore answering questions from the newbies.
Nope, Hess' best attribute is he actually knows who LSU coach Paul Mainieri is referring to when Mainieri compares Hess' intensity to "The Mad Hungarian" a.k.a. Al Hrabasky.
Hrabasky played 13 years in the majors as a relief pitcher and earned his nickname for his menacing scowl and pounding his glove for motivation and intimidation.
