Jaxon Buckley is a lineup player for the Philly Pies and has been with the team since Season 6, Day 95 after replacing Mickey Woods due to incineration.

Official League Records

Buckley joined the league on Season 6, Day 95 as a -star hitter for the Philly Pies, after the incineration of Mickey Woods.

In the Season 8 Elections, Buckley was subjected to Who? You too?, which would steal the least popular player in the league and max their stats. In a twist of fate, the Pies won this Blessing, but because Buckley was already on the Pies, Buckley remained with the team while earning maximum batting stats.

During the Season 9 election, Buckley received the Fire Eater modification due to the passing of the Forecast: Eclipse decree.

Biographical Information

COMMUNITY REPORTS
The remainder of this article contains lore created collaboratively by the Blaseball community.

Jaxon Buckley (they/he) was born the fifth child of a large family in Hackensack, New Jersey. Suffering badly from middle child syndrome from being wedged solidly in the middle of eight siblings, young Jaxon dreamed of standing out. Obsessed with hlorses, the old west, and cowboy poets, Jaxon fantasized of becoming a cowpoke poet themselves.

Displaying a modicum of athletic talent in college, Jaxon was recruited by the Trenton Centrists, where they spent several years refining their cowpoke aesthetic and serving as the team’s poet laureate. Jaxon’s focus on the poetry and hlorseriding aspects of their life, combined with their fierce commitment to economic justice, rendered them largely a benchwarmer, until a tragic riding accident cost them their arms.

While in the hospital, a mysterious and anonymous benefactor sponsored Jaxon to receive a new set of experimental prosthetics. Jaxon’s new metal arms proved a crowd draw at Centrists games, and when the sudden incineration of Mickey Woods Woods left a hole in the Philly Pies roster, Jaxon was called up.

Since moving to Philly, Jaxon has taken the opportunity to join up with the Urban Rliders, a city-based hlorse-riding/cowpoke organization. This community of cowpokes finally gives Jaxon the fellowship they’ve sought for so long, even as they try eagerly to win over the hearts of the grieving Philly flans.

Postseason 8 and Experimental Cybernetics

After the Philly Pies' defeat in the semifinals of the 8th season ILB, Jaxon Buckley received approval for a series of experimental cybernetic procedures, including the upgrading of their arms, and the implementation of nanomachines. These procedures were made possible by the discovery that Jessica Telephone's signature brand SK8 JUICE was a perfect suspension fluid for the nanomachines, and provided coolant to the arms.

Financing for the procedure was secured by a sponsorship deal with a vape juice company, also obtained due to Telephone, during her brief stint outside of the peanut shell during Season 8.

The nanomachines and new arms have massive power requirements, causing Jaxon to go through several battery packs every at bat. While the cybernetics look impressive - particularly the horsehead pauldrons with glowing eyes - approximately 99.5% of the power used goes to powering the RGB lights that are responsible for Jaxon's now iconic glow.

Procedure documentation obtained after the cybernetic's installation offer little evidence that the upgrades are the cause for Jaxon's recent improvement in Blaseball playing, as the majority of changes to the cybernetics were simply made to allow the implementation of the RGB Lights. Whether Jaxon is aware of this fact is unknown, and it may be that the power to be a star hitter was inside him all along. In an interview about the procedures, Jaxon said this.

"Ya know, tha one thing I can say is that tha glow I've been givin' off has been givin' our pitchers a mighty bit of trouble keepin' the blaseballs on target. Hopin' we can make a strategy outa' that next season."

Trivia

• Chews cinnamon bark like tobacco. Frequent spitter.
• Rides their hlorse Fl’tch’r up to the plate. Greets umpires and catchers with a friendly, "Howdy!"
• Wears a cowboy hat, vest, and chaps at all times. Over the uniform. Hat goes under the helmet when batting.
• Prone to breaking out a guitar and singing cowpoke poems to anyone who will listen.
• Staunch socialist.
• Jaxon insists on riding Fl’tch’r when running the bases. This is not as much an advantage as it might seem as Fl’tch’r is surprisingly slow and Jaxon loses precious time having to mount up after getting a hit.
• Fl'tch'r seems to be absolutely terrified of former Pies player Summers Pony and quickly flees at the mere sight of them.
