Vin Mazzaro
MLB veteran righty Vin Mazzaro will be spending his age-33 season with Long Island now that he has re-signed with the Ducks for 2020. At this time, we’re projecting Mazzaro as a starter after his late-season dominance last year. After moving into the rotation from the bullpen on July 24, Mazzaro posted an 8-0 record, a 2.15 ERA, and a 3.8 K/BB while averaging just under six innings per outing. With that production, the Ducks may find Vin as a better-than-league-average number two starter for Long Island in 2020.
Daniel Fields
The Ducks have re-signed outfielder Daniel Fields. In Daniel’s first three seasons in the Atlantic League, two of which were with Long Island, he slashed a respectable .269/.353/.453. However, in 73 plate appearance against lefties in 2019, Fields struggled his way to a .090 batting average. Expect Daniel to serve as a platoon player in 2020.
