Scouting the Opponent
The Fireflies are playing the Hickory Crawdads for the final time this season. Columbia has won 10 of the first 18 games against the Rangers affiliate this season. Hickory currently sits eight games back of the Myrtle Beach Pelicans for first place in the second half.
The Crawdads have the fourth-highest batting average in the Carolina League this season. They are hitting .233 as a club and have been led by Maxton Martin. Martin, who leads the circuit in homers, was just promoted to The Hub City Spartanburgers Tuesday. Now, the next level of Rangers prospects are in Hickory, including 18-year-old shortstop Yolfran Castillo is hitting .230 over his first 12 games in The Carolina League and outfielder Yeremy Cabrera is batting .253 in the heart of their order this season.
Caden Scarborough has made big improvements during the 2025 season. The righty has 95 strikeouts in 75 innings paired with a 2.88 ERA this season. Ismael Agreda has also made a massive jump during the 2025 season. The 21-year-old righty has increased his fastball velocity to the upper 90s and pairs well with a plus slider. Opponents are batting .165 against Agreda this year and he has accumulated a 2.55 ERA over the course of 74 innings in 21 appearances this season.
