York's Jacob Teter, Long Island's Tanner Jacobson earn weekly honors

Jacob Teter and Tanner Jacobson turned two very different kinds of dominance into the Atlantic League’s weekly honors, with York’s first baseman punishing pitchers at the plate and Long Island’s right-hander nearly blanking a lineup from the mound.

The Atlantic League announced Tuesday that Teter was the Player of the Week for June 30 through July 5 and Jacobson was the Pitcher of the Week. Teter’s line was the kind that can carry a team for six games: he hit .571, went 16-for-28, launched four home runs, scored 11 runs and drove in a league-best 18. His on-base percentage sat at .586, his slugging at 1.071 and his OPS at 1.358, numbers that match the way the week looked in real time, one loud swing after another.

York got the full version of that damage. Teter went 4-for-5 with four RBI in a 15-9 win over Staten Island on June 30, then drove in seven runs the next night in a 21-11 rout at WellSpan Park, one of the Revolution’s 19-hit outbursts. He finished the week with a 4-for-6 showing in a win over Lancaster on July 5. He homered in four of five games and set a York franchise mark with 18 RBI across a six-game stretch, the kind of production that does more than fatten a stat line. It has pushed a team already rolling into a stronger position in the second half, after York had already posted a franchise-first six-game sweep earlier in the year and opened the second half 3-0 to move into sole possession of first place.

The hot streak also traces back to York’s February 9 signing of Teter as one of the first two players on its 2026 roster. The club brought him in as a left-handed hitting first baseman, and he has spent the season giving that profile real bite.

Jacobson’s week was built on a different edge. In Long Island’s 8-0 win over Hagerstown on July 3, the Ducks right-hander took a no-hitter into the ninth inning before Noah Smith broke it up with a leadoff single. Jacobson, in just his third professional start, threw 107 pitches, walked three and struck out four before finishing with the one-hit shutout at Fairfield Properties Ballpark in front of a past-capacity crowd of 6,044.

Long Island signed Jacobson on March 26 and entered the season describing him as a second-year Duck and fifth-year professional. The outing fit his early-season numbers, too: he had allowed only 24 hits over 36 1/3 innings while striking out 37. With Long Island sitting at 40-28 and York at 38-29 on July 9, both clubs are carrying award-winning form into the middle of a division race that already has a little separation and a lot of traffic.
