The RiverDogs boast the best record in the Low-A East League and for a good reason. Charleston has a .262 batting average, which is second only to the Carolina Mudcats and holds the league's lowest ERA, a 3.52 mark on the season. A big reason for the RiverDogs success is having three of the Tampa Bay Rays top 15 prospects according to MLB.com. RHP Cole Wilcox, catcher/outfielder Heriberto Hernandez and RHP Seth Johnson have been able to stun the Fireflies and the rest of the Low-A East League for much for the 2021 campaign. It'll be your last chance to see some of these future Major Leaguers this week at Segra Park.
