Scouting the Opponent
The Fireflies kick-off their third series of the season with the Kannapolis Cannon Ballers and their first at the friendly confines. The Cannon Ballers are led by offensive prospects Jaden Fauske and Javier Mogollon. Fauske is a 19-year-old outfielder who is hitting .249 heading into the All-Star break with 21 extra-base hits in 77 games played this season. This is Mogollon's second season in the Towel City and the infielder has increased nearly every offensive metric year-over-year. Mogollon is hitting .266 and has seven homers and 31 RBI in 50 games played this season. Last year, Mogollon hit .220 with five round-trippers in the same period of time.
On the hill, Blaine Wynk has been the Ballers most consistent starter this season. The righty is 4-3 with a 3.21 ERA over 17 games (10 starts) in just shy of 50 innings of work. In addition to that, the club boasts Landen Payne, who has had a fantastic start to his professional career. The Southern Mississippi product has a 1.74 ERA over 24 appearances and has converted eight of his nine save opportunities this season so far.
