In preparation for next week’s New York-Penn League All-Star game, three members of the Brooklyn Cyclones were selected to the South squad. RHP Harol Gonzalez, SS Colby Woodmansee, and 1B Peter Alonso will travel to Dutchess Stadium in Hudson Valley on August 16 to represent Brooklyn.

Gonzalez, 21, has been the most dominant member of the Brooklyn staff throughout the season. The NYPL’s strikeout leader with 67, he owns a 4-1 record with a 1.77 ERA through nine starts. In addition to the lead in punchouts, Gonzalez is second in WHIP (0.88), and first in K/9 (10.77). He has struck out ten or more batters on three occasions this season, including 11 over seven innings of one-run ball on July 28. Gonzalez is in his third season with the organization after singing on March 26, 2014 from the Dominican Republic.

Woodmansee, 21, currently leads the Cyclones with a .273 average. Selected in the fifth round of the 2016 draft, the Arizona State Sun Devil hit .298 in his first 34 games with Brooklyn, before falling into a slump over the last week. Woodmansee also leads his team with 42 hits and 18 runs batted in. His defense at shortstop has also been stellar, as his .982 fielding percentage is tops at the position. Woodmansee joins Amed Rosario, Matt Bouchard, and current Kinsport Mets manager Luis Rivera as the only shortstops in team history to be named as NYPL all-stars.

Alonso, 21, has made an astounding impact in his first month as a professional. The 2016 second-round pick leads the Cyclones in home runs (4), doubles (10), and runs batted in (18), although seven of his teammates have played in more games. The 6’3″, 225 lb. Florida Gator also leads the NYPL with a .240 ISO and is third with a .540 slugging percentage (minimum 100 PA). His immense power has turned in exit velocities that are not seen in the league very often, including a double that jumped off his bat at 113 miles per hour on August 1.
