Ivan Epps brings a live arm and real upside to Manhattan’s bullpen
In the 2026 season, Ivan Epps has been used sparingly but effectively enough to flash bullpen value, including a three-inning relief outing with four strikeouts against NJIT, which hints at a power arm that can miss bats when he’s on[3][5]. He’s a right-handed pitcher from Long Island Lutheran whose profile leans toward toughness, projection, and development rather than finished-product polish, and Manhattan’s own roster notes tie him to a Division I baseball plus civil engineering mindset[1][8]. If you want an arm with upside, competitiveness, and room to grow, he’s worth a look; if you need a fully established high-volume stopper right now, he’s still in the proving-it phase[1][3][5].
