Next up in our Senior Spotlight is RPI Baseball commit, Derek Livingston (dereklivingston3)!
-
Livingston, a pitcher, has played on Port Washington’s Varsity baseball team since sophomore year. He even got a good amount of action in for the varsity squad at the end of his freshman season. From the start, he was a major piece in Port’s pitching staff.
-
As a sophomore, Livingston was a stronghold of the rotation. He continuously shut down big-time hitters and was constantly enthusiastic on the mound, always staying calm, cool, and collected. His biggest game of the year came in the quarterfinals against Plainview. In the game, Livingston stayed cool during inning after inning of high stress situations in a game that took two days to complete. The Vikings unfortunately were not able to walk away victorious despite Livingston’s valiant effort. However, Livingston and the Vikings returned to 2019, his junior season with a vengeance.
-
As a junior, Livingston had some of the best performances of his high school career. Most notably, he threw 5.2 scoreless innings against East Meadow and also was spot-on against rival Hicksville.
-
The Vikings had their most successful season in 50 years, making it to the Nassau County Championship. Though Livingston had suffered a nasty injury just two weeks prior, he returned for the Vikings in game two of the series, and had a memorable face off against Massapequa’s best hitters.
-
Last season, Livingston walked away with tons of accolades. He was consistently turned in great performances, coming in at a record of 4-1 with a 1.98 ERA. Additionally, he had a whip of 0.99 and struck out 31 batters along the way.
-
Though Livingston’s senior season remains in suspense, he will continue his baseball career next year at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI). There, he will continue to face top D-III talent.
-
Livingston’s high school career has been marked by consistency, energy, and passion! Congratulations on a great high school career! Good luck next year!
