Bio
Bryan Wickline has served the Chillicothe Paints since 1994, joining the organization originally as a college intern before being named Assistant General Manager in 1995 and General Manager in 1996. He held the title of General Manager for twenty seasons until assuming the role of Chillicothe Paints President and Managing Partner of Paints Sports and Entertainment in 2016.
Over his career in Chillicothe, Wickline has been honored with many accolades, including Prospect League General Manager of the Year in 2024 and Prospect League Director of the Year in 2025. The Paints have also been crowned Prospect League Champions, a league record four times, in 2010, 2019, 2022, and 2023, and captured a league-high 569 wins across the 16 seasons.
Wickline has also served the Prospect League since the Paints became a Charter Member during the League’s founding in 2009. He was elected President of the Board at the first annual meeting and served in that capacity through many of the League’s first years. Wickline also served as Co-Commissioner of the Prospect League during the 2009 season, and sole Commissioner during the 2014 and 2015 seasons.
“I’m incredibly honored to be elected to the Prospect League Hall of Fame,” said Wickline. “I’d like to thank my fellow directors and peers, who have helped make our League the best in the country, and my wife and family for their support when my various League roles and duties have taken me away from home over the years. I would also like to congratulate my fellow inductee, Ryan Howard, a tremendous big leaguer, and still one of our biggest League supporters. I was fortunate to be present in those early meetings when we agreed to merge in 2009. Fast forward 17 years, and the amount of growth our League has experienced is overwhelmingly impressive. We’ve overcome many obstacles and growing pains, but I would put our League against any other in the country. Our owners, operators, facilities, and affordability make us the number one collegiate summer league for players, fans, and ownership groups.”
