The Brooklyn Cyclones season began a few weeks ago. One of the early stars is 2019 ninth-round draft pick Joe Genord. Working as the team’s first baseman, the New York Mets farmhand has already smacked 5 home runs in his first 18 games with the Single-A squad. Equally as promising, he’s batting .318 in the early part of the season.
The University of South Florida slugger stands at 6’1 with a large 227-pound frame. Definitely built for swatter home runs, Genord is a youngster worth watching in the Mets’ minor league system. His 5 home runs and 17 RBI lead the Cyclones this year in what has been an awesome start to his professional big-league career.
