Holden Hess has become ULM’s high-leverage righty with late-game bite
In the 2026 season, Holden Hess has been a true swing piece for the Warhawks, working both as a starter and in relief while collecting wins, saves, and shutdown innings when ULM needed them most. He’s shown real out-pitch stuff in pressure spots—like a hitless four-inning outing against Texas State and a three-inning save against Louisiana—while also handling longer relief stints, which screams trust from the staff. The fit? A competitive, versatile right-hander who can change game scripts, not just fill innings.
