The Dayton Dragons and Flying Ace Express Car Wash have teamed up to honor five individuals and organizations who have gone above and beyond to improve the quality of life in the Miami Valley. On Wednesday, August 10, we will honor Crayons to Classrooms as our fourth Community All-Star of the season. Crayons to Classrooms steps in to meet the need of at-risk students in the Dayton area who need access to school supplies for their education so they can engage, learn, and grow. Crayons to Classrooms impacts 2,000 teachers and 47,000 students. Their staff is small but mighty, and they rely on the help of over six hundred volunteers to help bring their mission of a fair education for all students to reality.

Fireworks Night

The Dragons have scheduled six post-game fireworks shows at Day Air Ballpark during the 2022 season, with the next one set for Saturday, August 13. All of the shows are presented by Associated Builders and Contractors. The fireworks show will begin after the conclusion of the Dragons game, beginning at 7:05 p.m.

Dragons On The Field

The Dragons received blue chip prospect infielder Noelvi Marte to begin the last series against Peoria. Marte was the headline piece that came back to the Reds in the trade that sent former Reds ace Luis Castillo to the Mariners. Marte ranked as the Mariners No. 1 prospect before the trade, and now ranks as the Reds No. 1 prospect per MLB Pipeline.

Infielder Jose Torres hit the first grand slam of the year for the Dragons last Thursday against Peoria. It was part of a seven run third inning for Dayton that propelled them to their second win of the series.

The Dragons have nine players on MLB Pipeline's Top 30 Reds Prospects list, headlined by infielder and Reds No. 1 prospect Noelvi Marte. Other top prospects on the Dragons roster include right-handed pitcher Chase Petty, infielder Tyler Callihan, outfielder Austin Hendrick, catcher Mat Nelson, right-handed pitcher Christian Roa, infielder Jose Torres, right-handed pitcher Joe Boyle, and left-handed pitcher Steve Hajjar.
