2025 Minor League Preview: Brooklyn Cyclones
Since becoming a full-season affiliate following the radical reorganization of Minor League Baseball in the wake of its acquisition by Major League Baseball, the Brooklyn Cyclones have been hot and cold. In 2021, their first year as the Mets’ High-A affiliate, the team went 48-70, putting them dead last in the “High-A East” North Division. In 2022, they went 30-36 in the first half of the season and 41-25 in the second half, giving them a 70-62 overall record and a berth in the South Atlantic League Division Series, a three-game matchup they would lose to the Aberdeen IronBirds. In 2023, they went 28-37 in the first half of the season and 38-28 in the second half, good for a 66-65 overall record but just missing out on a playoff berth in the second half by a single game. In 2024, they went an even 33-33 in the first half of the season and 32-34 in the second half, good for a 65-67 record on the year.
