Ducks Continue Championship Celebration with Trio of Major Awards

The awards keep rolling in for the Long Island Ducks following their championship-winning season, as three key members of the club have received recognition for their outstanding contributions to the team's success.

Outfielder Jorge Bonifacio was named the Long Island Ducks Player of the Year after delivering a record-breaking season at the plate. Bonifacio established franchise single-season records with 30 home runs and 108 RBIs while batting .271 and collecting 112 hits, 62 extra-base hits and 95 runs scored in 112 games.

His combination of power and run production made him one of the Ducks' most dangerous offensive weapons throughout the season. Bonifacio consistently delivered in big moments, helping fuel an offense that played a major role in Long Island's championship run. His record-setting production also cemented his place in the franchise's history books.

Nick Margevicius earned the Long Island Ducks Starting Pitcher of the Year award after contributing during the regular season and delivering when the stakes were highest in the postseason.

Margevicius finished the regular season with a 6-2 record and a 4.31 ERA across 11 starts. However, his postseason performance was especially impressive. He won both of his playoff starts, allowing just three runs over 17 innings. His efforts earned him Atlantic League Championship Series Most Valuable Player honors, recognizing his importance during the Ducks' championship run.

Ramon Santos was named the Long Island Ducks Reliever of the Year, presented by Trinity Build Group, after putting together an impressive season in the bullpen.

Santos recorded a 2-1 record with a 1.40 ERA and 13 saves in 36 regular-season appearances. He continued to deliver under pressure in the postseason, recording three saves in four outings while allowing just one run over four innings.

His reliability in late-inning situations gave the Ducks a valuable weapon when protecting leads, and his postseason performance helped reinforce the strength of the team's pitching staff.

The three awards reflect the contributions of players who excelled in different areas of the game. Bonifacio supplied historic power at the plate, Margevicius delivered crucial starts when the pressure was highest, and Santos provided dependable relief throughout the season.

For a Ducks team that finished the year as Atlantic League champions, the individual honors offer another reminder of the talent and depth behind the club's successful campaign. From record-setting offensive production to dominant postseason pitching, Long Island had difference-makers across the roster when it mattered most.
