Bohanek shines as Cyclones make promotions
While the Subway Series was waged at Citi Field, the Yankees’ High-A Hudson Valley Renegades affiliate was battling the Mets’ Brooklyn Cyclones affiliate, just 90 miles north of Flushing. This season the first place Renegades (68-46) have already run away with the High-A East Division, but not before the Cyclones had a late-season surge to finish out their remaining season series.
Winning three out of seven games on the road against the team that had dominated the last place Cyclones (45-67) was an important way to wind down the season. Winning three games in a row, the Cyclones drew power from the awakened bat of Cody Bohanek.
Bohanek came to the organization in the trade with the Houston Astros that also sent J.D. Davis to play third base for the Mets. The 26-year-old infielder from Chicago has played for all four of the Mets’ minor league teams since his acquisition in 2019. This season Bohanek split his time between Triple-A Syracuse and Brooklyn and finally broke out with a late power surge against the Renegades.
