Jason Ballesteros (born October 7, 1985) is a Filipino professional basketball player who plays for the Blackwater Elite in the PBA. He was drafted 7th by the Meralco Bolts in the 2011 PBA Draft.[1] He has also played for Smart Gilas.
Weeks before the start of the 38th season, he got traded to the Barako in exchange for Carlo Sharma and 3-point bomber Sunday Salvacion.[2] In February 2014, San Miguel Beermen signed Ballesteros to a two-year deal, but never played a game for them and was released before the Governors' Cup. The Meralco Bolts re-signed him for the rest of the season.
On September 12, 2014, he and Salvacion were sent to Blackwater Elite in a three-way trade involving NLEX Road Warriors and Meralco Bolts. NLEX obtained Blackwater's 2016 and 2017 2nd round pick along with the draft rights for Juneric Baloria. Meralco received Sean Anthony from NLEX via Blackwater as third party.[3]
