Nick Tropeano is set to rejoin the Long Island Ducks after recovering from elbow surgery, aiming to contribute in their 25th anniversary season. Last year he struggled with injuries but is determined to leverage his experience for success. New teammate John Gant brings significant MLB experience to the Ducks as they prepare for Opening Day. Manager Lew Ford emphasizes the importance of speed in their gameplay strategy, looking to build on their impressive base-stealing record from the previous season, aiming for victory with a motivated team.
I was rehabbing a bit. I felt good last year, but I feel good again this year... a lot of hungry guys looking to win.
One thing I like to live by: 'You got a jersey on your back, you have an opportunity.' So I got a jersey on my back right now and I'm going to take full advantage of it.
It's special to me to play on this 25th anniversary team... just to be a part of that is a special privilege and a blessing.
I think the game is moving a lot toward speed... our team stole 190 bases last year.
