Another day, another Iona Gael.
This time it’s Stepinac SS Eric Capowski, who will join the Gaels next season along with the two pitchers from Mahopac.
For those who haven’t seen him, Capowski’s a gamer. He had the game-winning hit in a victory over Iona early this spring…capping one of the great comeback wins of the season.
Stepinac coach Pat Duffy told me back then that Capowski would find a D-I school. Duffy just thought the kid was a baseball player. Apparently he was right.
In other news, a loyal reader passed along a line to Perfect Game’s ‘08 Northeast Follow list. You can give it a look here.
As for the locals included, here’s the cliff notes’ version:
- Top 500: Alex Maruri, Stepinac; Steve Proscia, Don Bosco (from Suffern)
- Top 1000: Alex Adami, Iona Prep; Jerry Battipaglia, Somers; Dean Dignelli, Forman School (from Katonah); Vinny Ferraro, Fox Lane; Jeff Gendleman, Hackley (from Purchase); Joe Panik, JJEF; Joe Pedevillano, Lourdes
- Others: Rob Federico, Eastchester; Steve Prosapio, Nanuet; Mickelangelo Santana, Fordham Prep

Congrats to Capowski and Riefienhauser, Castellitto .It looks like Coach Carey is really putting together some nice pieces for his team in the future.Does anyone know the rest of the recruiting class for next year?
im pretty sure everyone was expecting alex maruri to be the first one to commit out of stepinac. I have never heard of this eric capowski, but congratulations to him. But, more importantly, Josh… where is maruri going?
Just heard Chris O’Grady from Clarkstown North gave his commitment to George Mason over the weekend.
This kid will be a tremendous asset to Iona College Baseball. He will improve the teams record from 4-50 to 2-50 all in one season. He will bat .087 his freshamn year with 26 strikeouts and averaging 3 errors a game. Good job IONA this is why you guys are horrible at baseball. Just kidding this kid is a great infielder.
