Baseball NSW is saddened to hear of the sudden and tragic passing of Jacinda Barclay.

Jacinda was a force of nature as well as a beloved member of the New South Wales baseball community. She competed locally for the Greenway Giants in the NSW Womens Baseball League and as a member of the NSW Womens Representative Team at numerous Australian Womens National Championships. Jacinda also went on to represent Australia at the Womens World Cup on five separate occasions and to date is the only Australian female pitcher to defeat Japan.

Jacinda was also a standout multi-sport athlete who competed for the Chicago Bliss in the Legends Football League in the USA and play for the Greater Western Sydney Giants in the AFLW competition.

All our baseball family will be grieving at this time as Jacinda will be dearly missed. Her mark on the sport of Baseball and as an athlete in this country will long be remembered. Baseball NSW and the wider baseball community send our heartfelt condolences to the Barclay family and her closest friends during this saddening time.
