Ducks manager Lew Ford said he sees Case’s adaptability to work out of the bullpen or beginning as a big plus for the team.

“Brad has experience as both a relief pitcher and a starter in his career,” Ford said on LIDucks.com. “We look forward to adding his versatility to our pitching staff.”

Case pitched for four different levels during the 2024 season, combining to post a 5-3 record with a 3.74 ERA in 22 appearances (two starts).

The 28-year-old spent six campaigns with the Pittsburgh Pirates organization, reaching as high as the Triple-A Indianapolis Indians. He posted a 29-20 record with a 4.35 ERA, one save and 341 strikeouts to 131 walks across 424.0 innings of work in 152 games.

The Pirates selected Case in the 17th round of the 2018 MLB Amateur Draft out of Rollins College in Winter Park Fla., going 13-15 with a 4.19 ERA and 222 strikeouts in 47 games (38 starts) during his time at college. 

Long Island kicks off the season on Friday, April 25, at 6:35 p.m., as it faces off against the Lancaster Stormers.
