What To Watch For:

  • As noted above, Demi Orimoloye was recent promoted up to the Carolina Mudcats. Orimoloye spent the past year and a half at Single-A, where he had struggled mightily in 2017. This season however, Orimoloye showed considerable improvement, increasing his batting average by nearly 50 points, and his OBP and slugging by over 60 points each. Hopefully Orimoloye can continue his hot hitting at this new level and keep his strong season alive.
