Nestor Martinez

Throws - Right
​Positions - Shortstop, Pitcher


​​Bio:
​Since 2009 Nestor has become a crucial part of the Bladerunners. From 3B and SS to closing pitcher, to starting pitcher, to award winner, to head coach, to team manager and all round life and soul of the club. With a wealth of experience, he has developed so many players and loves nothing more than teaching players to hit bottle caps with a stick, to train focus and aim, a traditional drill in his native Venezuela.

​
​Bio:
​Paul has a can-do attitude that is inspirational for newer and older players alike. Paul joined and just did whatever was thrown at him. He would try any position, take to the mound, help with the juniors and work on the club media. His bat to ball contact is solid game after game. He always supports others and has proved to be an integral part of the club.

Positions - Shortstop, Second Base, Outfield

​
​Bio:
​Every now and then a player walks onto the team and just slots straight in and contributes from day one. Chris, who came over from Canada, has shown to be able to play any position and be a really useful 'lefty' batter. From 2020 onward, he has stepped up to help run one of the teams as part of the coaching staff.

Bio:
​Having moved over to the UK from New York, 'Sully' has found the Bladerunners and is relishing the chance to flex his baseball skills in his spare time.

Jack Lockwood

​Bats - Right
Throws - Right
Positions - Catcher, Pitcher, Centre Field, 3rd Base

​Bio:
​Some players were just made for sport. Jack has brought his cricket skills to baseball and not skipped a beat. Settling into his favoured position of catcher where he is a natural fit. Throw in the fact he has taken to pitching amazingly and couple that with his lightening speed on the bases and he's the modern day version of the retro 'Deion Sanders/Bo Jackson' style of the two sport player.

Throws - Right
Positions - Centre Field, Second Base


​Bio:
​Self appointed 'Stato' you'd be hard fetched to find a more dedicated person to the rules of the game, scoring, and generally wanting to be involved in every play. His development on the field has been rapid, transforming himself into a formidable centre fielder. Also keen to be involved in umpiring, his future in the sport is very bright.

​​Bio:
​Jonny joined the club as a quiet youngster, who has quickly established himself into a great asset for the team. From taking any playing time given in the outfield, he now patrols centre field with authority and takes to the mound to pitch whenever needed. Add in his work on the Media team, his contribution is valued across the club.

Bio:
​With many years of experience behind him, Jesus continues to shine, even winning the batting title for Team I in 2019. Despite his great efforts to commute to Bladerunners games from his home 2 hours away, he still flexes his stuff on the middle infield on a regular basis.
We're sure he's looking to add more awards to his collection in the coming seasons.​​

​Bio:
​Future Bladerunner Hall of Famer - there is nothing Jimmy hasn't done. Still playing after starting in the early 90's he stills steps on the mound and confuses batters and then hits balls to the outfield for fun when on offense. A true icon for the club, he displays the spirit the game should be played in.
