The season may have ended for the Long Island Ducks, but the awards keep coming after another successful campaign.
The Atlantic League of Professional Baseball Clubs (ALPB) announced its Postseason All-Star Team for the 2025 season, and Ducks outfielder River Town was selected, as voted on by the league’s member clubs.
“River was one of the Atlantic League’s top players this season, proving to be an elite performer both at the plate and in the field,” said Ducks Manager Lew Ford. “We would like to congratulate him on this very well-deserved recognition.”
Town finished the season tied for second in the league in on-base percentage (.437), tied for third in triples (7), fourth in hits (143) and walks (74), and fifth in batting average (.326). In 117 games, the first-year Duck totaled 13 home runs, 71 RBIs, and 31 doubles while leading the team in runs (92), total bases (227), stolen bases (42), and OPS (.954). Defensively, the 26-year-old committed just three errors and recorded six assists over 109 games in the outfield, compiling a .986 fielding percentage.
This marks the 22nd season in which the Ducks have earned an ALPB Postseason All-Star Team selection and their first since 2022.
The ALPB also announced its Drake All-Defensive Team, and Ducks third baseman Troy Viola was honored. Viola played in 123 games—second-most in the league—and led all third basemen in total chances (340), putouts (112), and assists (215) while compiling a .962 fielding percentage.
“While my ultimate goal is to win a championship, this award means the most to me,” said Viola. “I take great pride in my defense and always give 100% for our fans.”
This marks the third consecutive season in which the Ducks earned an All-Defensive Team selection. Viola is the ninth player in franchise history to win.
