Scouting the Opponent

The Woodpeckers have been a top South division team this season and have been trading places with Kannapolis and Columbia for the top spot since April. With 20 games left in the first half, this is a crucial series for the Fireflies playoff hopes! The Woodpeckers have mastered the bloop in the blast as they’re fourth in the Carolina League in walks and third in homers this year. Where Fayetteville has been vulnerable has been their ability to limit runs. The Woodpeckers have the second-highest ERA in the circuit, a 4.98 mark heading into their 43rd game of the year. A big part of that has been that their top prospects haven’t hit their mark quite yet. The Woodpeckers have four of the Astros top 30 prospects according to MLB.com. Alonzo Tredwell is a 22-year-old RHP from UCLA who has a 7.24 ERA across his first eight games this season. Waner Luciano and Chase Jaworsky are two infielders hitting right around the Mendoza line with limited power this year and Cesar Hernandez has shown the best upside, but is hitting .348 across his first 22 games.
