PBR: Are you looking for anything in particular in a school? (Example: high academics, certain academic program, local, etc.)

Orr: I am looking for almost any college that is competitive in all of the games that they play in. Playing time isn’t much of a factor as long as the team is performing well. Academic wise, I’m looking for a university with a good computer science program.

PBR: How did you do your junior year? What were your high school statistics? And how did your team do?
Orr: My junior season didn’t end the way that I wanted it to. Lost in the quarterfinals in a very close game. I had a batting average of .364 and an on base percentage of .423. 25 singles, 4 doubles and 3 triples.
PBR: What are you goals for your senior season?

Orr: My goal for my senior season is to make it to state. We have a good amount of returning starters as well as some younger players who can really play. I’m excited for this season!

PBR: What travel team do you play for? Are you playing fall ball with a team?
Orr: My junior year I played for Gold Glove Academy for Ray Chang and Will Gordon. We had the opportunity to go play baseball in the MLB DC Summer League Tournament over in Nanjing, China.

PBR: Do you play any other sports?
Orr: I decided to try soccer my senior year of high school. Before my first game, the coaches didn’t know if I was good enough to even play jv. By the end of the season, I ended with 3 goals on varsity.

PBR: What are your ACT and GPA?
Orr: GPA is a 3.56 and ACT is a 22 but I am retaking it on December 9th.
