Partnered with Arches School, the club has started an indoor training session for young aspiring baseball players.
Founded in 1985, the Bladerunners, led by manager Steve Herbert (who would soon be the BBF president), played their home games at Rowlinson Sports Centre, hosting mainly Yorkshire teams such as the Leeds City Royals, the Huddersfield Heroes and the Harrogate Redwings.
During the 1990s, many big names in Northern baseball would join the Bladerunners, such as Frazer Longford (who would go on to have his number retired), Tommy Booth, and current-day manager Rich Green.
In 1998, Hinde House School underwent a major refit and left the team looking for a new field to call home.
This occurred around the time of the league's restructuring in 2000, splitting teams based on quality and location: placing the Bladerunners with Manchester B, Durham, Barnsley and the Yorkshire Puddings.
The 2004 season, remains to this day, the best performance by the Bladerunners, where they dominated the 8-team Division 1 North, winning every single game.
These teams were split between veterans and rookies to help with development, and in the first season of this new change, Bladerunners I was able to secure a division title.
For the 2020 season, the club added a third team, and due to the reworked Northern Baseball League, the Single-A division was split into East, Central, and West.
[5] For the 2021 season of the Northern Baseball League, the club announced the intention to offer 4 teams into the Double-A and Single-A divisions.
team III was led by Infielder and captain Jack Hukin and Pitcher/3rd Baseman Alan Bowers a Barnsley duo who brought a hard working attitude.
and team IV was led by the extremely experienced outfielder Jon Briscoe and peerless defensive catcher and lefty batter Martin Hingley.
Team II under American coach and Pitcher Thomas Spradling were able to keep pace with the League's best finishing tied for 3rd with a 12-10 record to reach the playoffs where they were ultimately defeated by the Wragby Warhammers in a close game with Leeds Locos taking the title in the final later that day defeating Wragby comfortably.
In somewhat of a deja vu scenario team I again continued to struggle for form and for consistency in player attendance, this left them with a 7-13 record.
