Four members of the 2025 Chatham Anglers were named to the Cape Cod Baseball League’s All-League Team, announced Tuesday.
Chatham catcher Daniel Jackson (Georgia) was named to the First Team, while outfielders Jackson Freeman (Northwestern) and Henry Ford (Virginia/Tennessee); and right-handed pitcher Duke Stone (Mississippi State) were named Third Team All-Cape Leaguers.
The four All-League selections are Chatham’s most since 2018.
Daniel Jackson | Catcher, Georgia | First Team
After he played four games with Chatham in 2024, Jackson returned to Chatham in 2025 and played in 38 of Chatham’s 41 games. Primarily a catcher, Jackson also appeared in the outfield, at first base and as a designated hitter, hitting .256 with a team-high four home runs. He led all qualified A’s hitters with an .818 OPS and was named the team’s Thurman Munson Most Outstanding Position Player. Jackson represented Chatham with a home run in the Cape League All-Star Game and received the league’s Daniel J. Silva Sportsmanship Award.
“He wants to hit, he wants to work and he wants to listen,” Chatham manager Dennis Cook said of Jackson. “That’s the type of kid we want (in Chatham).”
Jackson Freeman | Outfielder, Northwestern | Third Team
Freeman, a mainstay in Chatham’s outfield, tied Jackson and shortstop Isaiah Lane for the team lead with 38 games played. He hit .259 — tops among qualified A’s hitters — with two homers and drove in 15 runs. As Chatham’s first player from Northwestern in more than 40 years, Freeman represented the A’s as the East Division’s starting right fielder at the 2025 Cape League All-Star Game.
“Jackson’s been our best hitter,” Cook said on July 21. “He’s our best pure hitter. He doesn’t try to do too much, and he’s been a joy to be around.”
Henry Ford | Outfielder, Virginia/Tennessee | Third Team
Ford — an All-ACC performer at Virginia in 2025 — made a major impact in 19 games with the A’s before his transfer to Tennessee, hitting .267 with three home runs. At the time of his departure, Ford’s 18 runs batted in led all Chatham batters. After he played exclusively first base and corner outfield at Virginia, Ford made all 19 of his starts with the A’s in center field.
“Henry gave us an extra week more than what he said to me,” Cook said. “He loves to play baseball, he decided to stay and I appreciate that. He’s a tough out.”
Duke Stone | Right-Handed Pitcher, Mississippi State | Third Team
Stone made nine appearances for the A’s in 2025, pitching to a 3.33 ERA across 27 innings. He led the A’s with 35 strikeouts, a mark that ranked fifth in the Cape League, and was a co-recipients the the A’s Ed Lyons Coach’s Award. Across Stone’s four starts, each of which came in the final three weeks of the season, the righty punched out 26 hitters in 20.1 innings, and went five or more scoreless innings three times.
“He had a wonderful summer,” Cook said of Stone. “He stuck around. He listened. He applied what we were trying to help him with.”
