Ducks 2025 Team | Michael Polak

The Long Island Ducks have completed yet another successful season and this one was a little more special because it marked the team's 25th Anniversary of play in the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball.

The Ducks were quick to say thank you to the fans saying, "the organization would like to express its most sincere gratitude to everyone for their incredible support this season." 

This Ducks season marked the fifth consecutive season that the Ducks led all MLB Partner Leagues in total attendance (292,467) and led the Atlantic League in average (4,717) attendance per game. Long Island has now welcomed an Atlantic League record 9,479,730 fans through the gates of Fairfield Properties Ballpark since the franchise began in 2000.   

The team finished with a winning record (72-54) for the third consecutive season and 10th time in the past 11, dating back to 2014. Their wins included the 1,000th regular season home victory in franchise history.  

Six members of the 2025 Ducks had their contracts purchased by Major League organizations or foreign professional leagues and five Ducks alumni played in the Major Leagues in 2025. The Ducks also named Troy Viola the 2025 Team MVP.

Celebrating the 25th Anniversary of Ducks baseball, making the Ducks the first franchise to play 25 seasons in the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball. 

Ducks President/Chief Business Officer Michael Pfaff and Manager Lew Ford were inducted into the Suffolk Sports Hall of Fame. They joined Owner/Founder/CEO Frank Boulton (Class of 2003), co-Owner and co-Founder Bud Harrelson (Class of 1992) and former outfielder Justin Davies (Class of 2007) as members of the Ducks to be represented in the Hall.  

The 2026 season Long Island Ducks baseball will begin on Tuesday, April 21, when the Ducks host the Hagerstown Flying Boxcars at Fairfield Properties Ballpark.
