Even though Jackie Bradley Jr. is no longer a Long Island Duck, he continues to receive awards for what he did as a member of the team. This past week the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball Clubs announced that Bradley has been named the league’s Co-Player of the Month along with Luis Castro of the Staten Island FerryHawks.
“Jackie was incredible at the plate and in the field during the month of July,” said Ducks Manager Lew Ford. “He is tremendously deserving of this honor from the Atlantic league.”
Bradley Jr. played in only 16 games in July and led the team in batting average, with an eye popping .500 average. He also led the team in hits, home runs, total bases, on-base percentage, slugging percentage and OPS.
Bradley Jr. had his contract purchased by the New York Mets organization on July 23, becoming the ninth member of the 2024 Ducks to have his contract purchased by a Major League or foreign organization. When the Mets selected him he was in the middle of a historic 28-game hitting streak and had reached base safely in 35 consecutive games.
Bradley Jr. joins Frank Schwindel among Ducks players to receive Atlantic League monthly honors in 2024. Schwindel was named the league’s Player of the Month for May.
