A Long Island native has just been named to the Long Island Ducks 25th Anniversary Team. Levittown’s own Randy Leek has been chosen as the fourth member of the celebratory team.

The former pitcher, Leek spent four seasons with the Ducks from 2007 to 2010. With the Ducks, Leek helped them reach the playoffs in three of those years. He finished his career with a 40-23 record to go along with his impressive 3.78 ERA, he had six complete games, three shutouts and 356 strikeouts over 587.1 innings pitched across 93 games (91 starts). 

The lefty held the record for the team’s totals for wins, innings pitched, strikeouts and starts until they were surpassed by fellow 25th Anniversary Team selection John Brownell.

Leek was named to the Atlantic League All-Star Game twice in 2008 and 2010. He was the Liberty Division’s starting pitcher for the 2010 All-Star Game, which was played on Long Island, and threw two perfect innings. 

Leek currently lives in Levittown, N.Y., and owns a baseball training facility with fellow Ducks alumni Kevin Haverbusch and Rob Cafiero. He also coaches the Jonas E. Salk Middle School baseball team.

Every week throughout the offseason leading up to Opening Night of the 2025 campaign, the Ducks will unveil a new member of the franchise’s 25th Anniversary Team. Players were chosen based on their contributions to the organization, including on-field accomplishments, longevity with the franchise, impact on their professional playing career and involvement with the Long Island community.
