Former Cyclone Named AFL Player Of The Week

Last Monday, former Brooklyn Cyclone pitcher, Brad Holt, was named the pitcher-of-the-week for Week 2 of the prestigious Arizona Fall League.  Holt, a first round draft pick of the Mets in 2008, played for the Cyclones that same season.  That year, he went 5-3 with a 1.87 ERA and 96 strikeouts in 72.1 innings.  Besides making the NYPL All-Star team in 2008, Holt was named to the Florida State League (Advanced A) All-Star team in 2009.  After a rough 2010, where he went a combined 3-14 with a 8.34 ERA with St. Lucie (Florida State League) and Binghamton (AA Eastern League), Holt seems to have regained his confidence in this Minor League All-Star league:

The 24-year-old Holt, a right-hander, sports a 2-0 record with a perfect 0.00 ERA in two starts. He has allowed only four hits and four walks in nine innings pitched with five strikeouts.
 
The Mets' first-round (33rd overall) choice in the 2008 Draft, Holt, a native of Albermarle, North Carolina, divided his 2010 season between High-A St. Lucie and Double-A Binghamton. He owns a 15-24 career record with a 5.29 ERA in 58 appearances (57 starts) in three minor-league seasons.
