The Long Island Ducks have completed the 2024 season, presented by Catholic Health, at Fairfield Properties Ballpark. This year marked the franchise’s 24th season of play in the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball.

The 2024 season featured a host of tremendous achievements, accolades and milestones, both on and off the field. These accomplishments included:

  • For the fourth consecutive season, the Ducks led all MLB Partner Leagues in total attendance (290,073) and led the Atlantic League in average (4,679) attendance per game. Long Island has now welcomed an Atlantic League record 9,187,263 fans through the gates of Fairfield Properties Ballpark since the inaugural 2000 season. Additionally, the Ducks welcomed their record 9 millionth fan through the gates on June 18th.
  • The Ducks hosted seven past-capacity crowds. Long Island has now welcomed 713 sold out crowds all-time, which is also an Atlantic League record.
  • A run towards the Atlantic League playoffs, remaining in the race until the final week of the regular season, before finishing with a winning record for the ninth time in the past 10 seasons dating back to 2014.
  • 10 members of the 2024 Ducks had their contracts purchased by Major League organizations or foreign professional leagues. They included catcher Chance Sisco (St. Louis Cardinals); outfielders Jackie Bradley Jr. (New York Mets) and Tyler Dearden (Minnesota Twins); infielder Rixon Wingrove (Twins); left-handed pitcher Emilio Marquez (Pericos de Puebla); and right-handed pitchers Matt Seelinger (Detroit Tigers), Tyler Zuber (Tampa Bay Rays), Chris Ellis (Arizona Diamondbacks), Dan Straily (Chicago Cubs) and Raynel Espinal (Rieleros de Aguascalientes). Zuber went on to reach the Major Leagues with the Rays in July, going from Central Islip to the Bronx in just over two months.
  • Ramon Santos was named the 2024 Team MVP, presented by Delmonte-Smelson Jewelers. The first-year Duck ranked third in the Atlantic League with 14 saves and led all Ducks pitchers with 45 appearances and a 0.58 ERA.
  • Outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. broke the franchise record for the longest hitting streak. The 11-year MLB veteran hit safely in 28 consecutive games, surpassing the previous mark of 25 held by Mel Stocker (25, set in 2006).
  • Winning the “Battle of the Belt”, the annual rivalry series between the Ducks and Staten Island FerryHawks, for the second consecutive season.
  • Seven Ducks alumni played in the Major Leagues in 2024. They included right-handed pitchers Tyler Zuber (2024) with the Rays; Matt Carasiti (2022) with the Rockies; Michael Tonkin (2019, ’21) with the Yankees, Twins and Mets; and Jose Cuas (2018-19, 2021) with the Cubs and Blue Jays; as well as left-handed pitchers Brady Feigl (2022) with the Pirates; Rob Zastryzny (2021) with the Brewers; and Rich Hill (2015) with the Red Sox.
  • Several additions to the ballpark enhanced the fan experience. These included brand new drink rails located on the main concourse behind the first and third base dugouts and improvements to the ballpark’s suite level, restaurant and batting tunnel.
