Ivan Epps
Q & A With Manhattan-commit Ivan Epps
LuHi has captured the PSAA Championship for the past three years. One of their main contributors this past season was infielder and pitcher Ivan Epps – who was named Playoff MVP this season and was also a starter last season. The hard-throwing righty recently announced his commitment to Manhattan College. I originally met Ivan back in 2016 while working at the New York Baseball Academy at Hofstra University. Epps was one of the most impressive players in attendance as a 9-year-old, and the staff was forced to make him play two years up because of his talent. Sometimes you just know when someone is destined to be a great player, and now here we are 7 years later and he’s throwing 90 MPH with a 100 MPH max exit velocity.

They lost in the New York State tournament to Stony Brook Prep, but that shouldn’t overshadow what they did during the regular season in which they started 11-0 and defeated a tough Portledge team in the PSAA Championship at LuHi. They also defeated Collegiate HS in the New York State tournament prior to their loss to Stony Brook. In that championship game, LuHi showed thei...

The Molloy-commit was the best player on the field – going 3-for-3 with two triples, three RBIs and two walks. The Crusaders won by the score of 15-2, capturing their second straight PSAA title. They jumped out to a quick 4-0 lead in the bottom of the first and never looked back. Tommy Bressmer started things off with a leadoff double and he scored on Coogan’s long RBI triple to left field. The next batter was ...
Oil City Bandits Combine to Throw No-Hitter
Final: Oil City Bandits 6, Westchester Jr Ducks 0. Ivan Epps and Todd Segarra combine to throw a no-hitter. pic.twitter.com/ReJIvpIvBT — Axcess Baseball LI (@axcessbaseball) May 26, 2019 The 12u Oil City Bandits, coached by Tommy Beirne, defeated the Westchester Jr Ducks 6-0, without allowing a hit in the process. The Bandits pushed across the only run that they would need in the top of the first inning. Todd Segarra was hit by a pitch, and as a result of some sloppy defense by the Ducks, came around to score the first run of the game. In the bottom of the inning, the Ducks did threaten to score, working back to back walks with two outs. But Bandits starting pitcher, Ivan Epps, was able to focus up as he struck out the following batter to escape the jam. Not content with just one run, the ...
