Scouting the Opponent
The Charleston RiverDogs are one of the top teams in the Carolina League again this season. After the Fireflies split their six-game series in Charleston in April, the Fireflies play host to the RiverDogs, who are tied for first in the South Division heading into the weekend.
After the promotion of catcher Caden Bodine at the start of the week, the RiverDogs will look toward Georgia native and first round pick Daniel Pierce to take another step towards leading the offensive attack. The 19-year-old is hitting .250 with four homers and 24 RBI this season. Pierce jumped out of the gates well, earning a Player of the Week Award in April. Charleston also boasts Tampa Bay top prospects Taitn Gray, Brailer Guerrero and Cooper Flemming on their roster.
Charleston's leader on the pitching staff this season has been eighth rounder Aidan Cremarosa. The IMG product is 4-0 with a 2.54 ERA and he leads the Carolina League with 55 strikeouts. Opponents are hitting .177 against the righty which has helped lead him to a 0.77 WHIP across his first 39 innings.
