Carlos Lagrange, Ben Hess will join Yankees at big league spring training
NY Post
Two of the Yankees’ top pitching prospects will be at major league spring training for the first time, the team announced Thursday.
Both Carlos Lagrange and Ben Hess were among the non-roster invitations, with Lagrange known for hitting 103 MPH in a game last season, most of which was spent at Double-A Somerset.
The 22-year-old Lagrange is seen as someone who could make an impact in The Bronx, perhaps as early as this year.
Hess, 23, reached Double-A last year, his first season in the pros after being selected in the first round by the Yankees in 2024 out of the University of Alabama.
George Lombard Jr., considered by some to be the organization’s best overall prospect, got his second invitation to big league camp.
The 20-year-old also played primarily with Somerset in 2025 and is already seen as an elite defensive shortstop.

ANAHEIM, Calif. — The Islanders have two first-round picks in the 2026 draft and a decent-sized prospect stable for the first time in years. They have a hair over $6 million in available cap space and had pulled into a tie on points for second place in the Metropolitan Division with five straight wins before Wednesday’s loss to the Ducks.
