The Long Island Ducks finished the 2024 season with a record of 64-62 and did not qualify for the playoffs. Coach Lew Ford emphasized the importance of maintaining player health and consistency following a turbulent season. The team features notable players like pitcher John Gant and infielder Seth Beer, both of whom bring MLB experience. Ford is optimistic about the roster's balance of pitching, speed, and defense, with a particular focus on improving stolen bases after a strong performance the previous year.
I'm very excited this year about the roster we put together, especially two of our veteran guys, here [Gant and Beer], Ford said. I think we have a balanced roster this year: pitching, speed, and defense.
The beginning of the year last year, we had a lot of turnover, but that's the goal this year, to keep everybody on the field and healthy.
