Lancaster Lucky Strikes Name David Martin as General Manager Ahead of Inaugural Season

LANCASTER, SC — The Lancaster Lucky Strikes are proud to announce the hiring of David Martin as the organization’s General Manager, bringing extensive experience in launching and leading successful sports franchises across the country.

Martin joins the Lucky Strikes with a proven track record that includes overseeing three new stadium projects and helping establish teams in emerging markets such as Fresno, California; High Point, North Carolina; and Gastonia, North Carolina. Now, he brings that expertise to Lancaster as the franchise prepares for its inaugural season.

“I’ve built sports franchises throughout my entire career, and I view this opportunity as my next great adventure,” said Martin. “I’m excited to get started and energize the Lancaster community for Opening Day in early June.”

As General Manager, Martin will lead all aspects of the organization’s operations, with a focus on building strong community connections and delivering a premier fan experience.

Fans can expect a competitive product on the field, led by manager Evan Flynn, along with a high-energy, entertainment-driven atmosphere at every home game.

“On the field, our team will be competitive, and off the field, each game night will be packed with entertainment and value that fans won’t want to miss,” Martin added.

Martin was drawn to the opportunity by the excitement and fulfillment of building a new team from the ground up in a vibrant community.

“There’s something special about creating a team that a community can rally behind,” he said. “Success will be realized in many ways, and seeing it all come together on Opening Night and throughout the season will make it all worthwhile.”

Originally from Franconia, New Hampshire, Martin grew up a passionate New England sports fan. He played both basketball and baseball in high school, primarily as an outfielder and first baseman, with baseball always being his favorite sport.

With Opening Day approaching, the Lancaster Lucky Strikes are set to make their mark both on and off the field under Martin’s leadership.
