2023 Roster: Tim Orr
CHILLICOTHE, Ohio - The Chillicothe Paints, presented by CohenOrthopedic, have re-signed Tiffin University outfielder Tim Orr for the upcoming season, which begins on the road at Lafayette Wednesday, May 31.
Orr was a key part of the Paints' Prospect League championship team a summer ago, playing in 51 games and collecting 59 hits, including 10 doubles, a triple and five home runs, while driving in 48. He also drew more walks (34) than strikeouts (29).

Orr showed his versatility on the defensive end, playing catcher, first base, third base, left field and right field during the regular season. Due to injuries and illness heading into the playoffs, Orr manned shortstop for the Paints throughout the postseason.
