The Prospect Lefferts Gardens native struck out a career-high 10 over 4.1 innings on May 8 at Bowling Green and twirled a career-best 6.2 innings of one-hit shutout ball, striking out eight, to earn the win in his final High-A start on May 20 vs. Hudson Valley.

John BAY (OF)
25 G, 22x93, .237/.324/.484/.808, 22 R, 12 XBH, 5 HR, 16 RBI, 9 BB, 30 SO, 7/8 SB, 3 HBP
Bay continued to pace the Cyclones offense during the season’s second month. The 25-year-old led the team in hits (22), runs (22), doubles (6), home runs (5), and RBI (16), and was tied for the team lead in stolen bases (7). Bay’s 22 runs scored were also tied for fifth in the South Atlantic League for the month.
You can’t stop him. You can only hope to contain him. 🔥 @John_Bay10 extends his hitting streak to 10 and ties the game at one! He’d score on a Ronald Hernandez ground out to put us in front, 2-1#LGM | #AmazinStartsHere | @MetsPlayerDev pic.twitter.com/k1fGOun4Uc

Ronald HERNANDEZ (C)
22 G, 20x76, .263/.371/.461/.832, 10 R, 6 XBH, 4 HR, 11 RBI, 11 BB, 27 K, 7/8 SB, 2 HBP
Hernandez composed one of the best months of his Cyclones career in May. The 22-year-old slashed .263/.371/.461/.832 in 22 games with six extra-base hits, four home runs, and 11 RBI. Hernandez led all Brooklyn hitters in batting average (.263) and OPS (.832) in May (min. 50 PA). The Caracas, Venezuela native punctuated his month with his second career multi-home run game, blasting a pair of solo shots, on May 10 at Bowling Green. Hernandez also tied the Cyclones’ single-game stolen base record, swiping four bags, on May 24 vs. Hudson Valley.

Hernandez hits another monumental shot that clears the Brooklyn bullpen in right field for a solo home run.
His third home run in the last two games — and second of the day — gives us a two-run lead back, 4-2. #AmazinStartsHere pic.twitter.com/h1Ic1tYDH1
Hunter HODGES (RHP)
0-0, 0.00 ERA, 9 G, 1 HLD, 1/1 SV, 11.2 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 1 HB, 4 BB, 20 K, .103 BAA
Hodges dominated out of the Cyclones bullpen in May. The Wilmington, N.C. native surrendered only one unearned run on four hits over 11.2 innings for a spotless 0.00 ERA. Hodges issued just four walks and punched out 20 hitters over nine relief appearances. The 23-year-old earned his first save of the season to close out a combined one-hit shutout on May 2 vs. Frederick.
