The Long Island Ducks are bringing back catcher Ronaldo Flores for the 2026 Atlantic League season, today the team announced via X.
Performing well on both sides of the diamond, Ducks manager Lew Ford said he is thrilled to have Flores return to the fold in 2026.
“Ronaldo did a terrific job for us last season, both at the plate and in the field,” Ford said in a press release. “We are excited to welcome him back to Long Island.”
Flores was 2025 mid-season Atlantic League All-Star and finished the campaign batting .341, slugging 12 home runs, 41 RBI, 85 hits, 13 doubles, and scoring 30 runs with .929 a OPS in 2025.

“I’m super excited to come back to Long Island,” said Flores. “My goal is to try and help this team make the playoffs and win a championship.”
