It seems as if the Brooklyn Cyclones are a good spot for professional players to flourish in the New York Mets’ minor league system. MLB Pipeline’s prospect watch list has 17 of the 30 top players in New York’s farm system who once played in Brooklyn.

Only one player on the list is at the Triple A level, and three are on the current MLB roster.

Here are the players who made the list:
