Hitting
One of Hessel's strongest assets is his performance with men in scoring position. Christianj Hesselis Mr. Clutch. Hessel never has been a patient hitter. Hessel always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency.
Baserunning & Defense
He doesn't get good jumps on grounders, but his routes are fine and his hands aren't bad. His arm is accurate enough. He has below-average speed and is stiff on the basepath. He's poor on a straight steal but has some success at reading pitchers and working a delayed steal.
2025 Outlook
Hessel flat-out isn't ready for this level of competition. Expect the Retired or Inactive Players to send him down promptly.
