Jonathan Raymond - Cyclones' Ynoa leads pitching clinic




The 19-year-old right-hander made his sixth start of the season, all of which have lasted six frames. In all but one, he has allowed two earned runs or fewer.

The Dominican Republic native was signed by the Mets as an international free agent in 2009, but didn't appear in American pro ball until last season, when he debuted with the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League Mets. In 12 appearances between the GCL and Rookie-level Kingsport, Ynoa went 2-3 with a 3.21 ERA, striking out 27 and walking just four over 56 innings.

This season has seen him take another step forward. After Thursday's outing, Ynoa (1-1) lowered his ERA to 2.75 in 36 innings for the Cyclones. Once again he's thrived on control, whiffing 27 while allowing just five free passes. In his two Minor League seasons, his walks-per-nine innings ratio stands at 0.88.
