Right-handed reliever Bo Buckley join the Barnstormers

The Chatham-Kent Barnstormers are thrilled to announce the signing of right-handed reliever Bo Buckley.

Hailing from Petrolia, Ontario, Buckley brings collegiate experience, strikeout ability and plenty of determination to the Barnstormers bullpen. Between his time with the Fairfield Stags (NCAA) and the Mohawk Valley Diamond Dawgs of the Perfect Game Summer League from 2022–2024, Bo recorded 8 wins and 87 strikeouts across 99.2 innings pitched.

Barnstormers fans may also remember that Buckley already showed flashes of dominance in the CBL as a teenager. Pitching for the London Majors in 2021 at just 19 years old, the 5’10”, 185-pound righty appeared in five games without allowing a single hit while striking out nine batters in five innings of work.

After an elbow injury sidelined him during the 2025 season, Buckley now enters 2026 healthy, motivated and ready for the next chapter. In Bo’s own words: “Time to persevere and get to work. This is all a part of God’s plan.”

A fresh start. A healthy arm. A pitcher ready to compete.

Welcome to the Barnstormers, Bo!
