No Sleep 'Til ...!: Brooklyn Cyclones in 2022

Edgy MD
Jun 13 2022 09:29 PM

The Brooklyn Nine won a pistol of a game yesterday, trailing 2-1 into the bottom of the seventh before centerfielder and Flushing native Jaylen Palmer stepped up to the plate with the bases loaded and crushed a grand slam, providing the difference in the Cyclones 5-2 win.

Jaylen had been gaining some prospect traction (most sites placed him in the top 15), but transitioning from shortstop/infielder into centerfield. One might presume that was because he was blocked at shortstop, but he's been hitting just terribly most of this year, so it was looking like the development team had bigger problems than Jaylen being blocked.



He has been showing power in between racking up piles of strikeouts. He's a strapping, athletic, Starling Marte-type, only bigger (6'4", 208), and maybe minor-leaguing in your hometown is a bad idea (he stunk in Brooklyn last year, also, but was much better in St. Lucie.



If you'd prefer rooting for an out-of-towner over a Holy Cross High School kid, you might turn your eyes a few degrees toward right field. There you'll find Newtown, Pennsylvania's own Brandon McIlwain. Brandon was a Cal-Berkeley player who had gone unpicked in the abbreviated draft of 2021. He's one of the oldest Clones, but he's been hitting like a vet, leading the team with a .284 / .377 / .446 // .822 line.



If you recognize his name, it may be because he's a veteran of big time college football, having the rare distinction of throwing a touchdown pass in both the SEC (as a South Carolina Gamecock) and the Pac-12 (as a Cal Golden Bear). Now he's a Met prospect getting better every month, logging a .676 OPS in April, an .872 in May, and a .926 so far in June.

But maybe it's starting pitching that gets you excited. If that's true, then lemme introduce you to Nick Zwack. Apart from having a name that's a Batman sound effect, Nick is a lefthander out of Minnesota, and that's the kind of Mets origin story that ends with you getting your number retired. Through six starts, he's thrown 23 innings and put up a Koosmanian 2.74 ERA, striking out 25 and walking but five. FIVE!!!

But the ones who make it the fastest are the relievers, and Grant Hartwig is looking to make it from Hogwarts (to judge by his name) to Citi Field. Hartwig, the savior of yesterday's game, has yet to allow a run in 8 2/3 innings with the Clones, and in fact has only allow four hits and two walks while striking out 13. Grant started his sweet run a couple of weeks back picking up one of those classic mopup saves — getting the S added to his register for pitching three innings to finish the game, despite a 14 run lead. Since then he's been the Edwin Diaz of Brooklyn.



Hartwig. Remember that name.

Brooklyn is off to Wilmington next to take on the Quicksteps Blue Rocks in a marathon eight-game series. EIGHT!! Holy shit, right? But they had a period last month where they were rained out two-games out of three for like two weeks. Both teams intend to pitch TBD in the opener, so I imagine his arm will be real tired. Hopefully, they'll use this epic showdown to make up some ground between the second-place Rocks and their fourth place selves, where they sit 13 1/2 games out in the South Atlantic League North Division, which is geographically just a really stupid place for a Brooklyn team to be.

If a lefty reliever named Nick Zwack doesn't erase all of Orosco, Franco, Looper, Wagner and McGraw's lefthanded relief records for the Mets--combined--there is no justice in this world. None.

Yeah, but we thought (Hoped?) that about Josh Smoker too.

Following his two NYM seasons, Smoker appeared in 8 ML games.

The initial X on Nick's Xavier uniform is also pretty good at spelling your doom.

Only X school in the NCAA, any division. There's another Xavier University (Louisiana) and a Saint Xavier Univiersity (Illinois) in the NAIA.

You will see this man exact big league damage some day. Write that name down.

With five innings of shutout ball in yesterday's 2-1 Brooklyn win over Jersey Shore, Nick ZWACK! has now given up one run in 19 innings in June, striking out 20 and walking three.

Speaking of Nick Zwack, who was that hotshot outfielder with a name like a cowboy Trans am driver who the Mets drafted, but he didn't sign and wound signing the following year with the Brewers. He had a terrible jocky outlook, all about his truck and his guns?

Damien Magnifico!



Looks like he flamed out with a career 5.40 ERA and 4 career appearances with the Brewers and Angel's. Released in 2020 by the dbacks, and seems to have become an advocate for minor league players rights in the meantime

Nick Zwack cannot be thwarted. After being named South Atlantic League Pitcher of the Month for June last week, the Rick Dempsey lookalike continued in beast mode through July, with his win today expanding him to 2-0 / 1.59 with 15 strikeouts and three walks in the Ruby Month.



That looks good until you ask yourself "So, what was so great about his June?" and see his 0.36 ERA over 25 innings for the month.



If you're not Coney Island catching his next start, ask yourself, "What am I doing that's so important?"

The Cyclones scored 9 runs today on 12 hits - none of them by prospect Alex Ramirez.

He went 0-5 with 3Ks and is hitting .154 since his promotion from St. Lucie.
