BR McDermott
Right-handed bat
BR McDermott, a batter, has played twelve BBL seasons for three clubs, and has scored 2,993 runs, the 7th-most in BBL history.
The arrival
BR McDermott's first BBL season was 2013-14, with Brisbane Heat.
That first season brought 2 matches and 30 runs. The best was still to come.
The peak
The high point with the bat was 2021-22, for Hobart Hurricanes: 577 runs at an average of 48.1, striking at 148.3 in a season when the league as a whole struck at 124.7, with 2 hundreds and 3 fifties, and a highest score of 127. There were four seasons of 300 runs or more in all (2017-18, 2018-19, 2020-21 and 2021-22).
Measured against the league around it, though, the most destructive season was 2016-17: 155 runs at a strike rate of 184.5, 55 runs per hundred balls quicker than the BBL as a whole that year.
Club by club
2013-14, Brisbane Heat. 2 matches and 30 runs.
2015-16, Melbourne Renegades. 2 matches and 9 runs.
2016-17 to 2025-26, Hobart Hurricanes. 103 matches and 2,954 runs.
3 spells with three clubs in all. The longest was with Hobart Hurricanes, 2016-17 to 2025-26. 2014-15 is missing from the record: a season without a BBL appearance.
How the runs came
Across the career, BR McDermott has struck at 133.4. The league around those same seasons, weighted by how much batting each one involved, struck at 126.0, so BR McDermott has scored about 7 runs per hundred balls faster than the typical batter of the time. 56% of the runs came in fours and sixes: 206 fours and 142 sixes, the 3rd-most sixes in BBL history.
Where it stands
On the all-time BBL lists, among 526 players, BR McDermott stands 7th for runs, 20th for matches played and 3rd for sixes. The story is still being written: 2025-26 was another season with Hobart Hurricanes.
