Nathan Andrew Orf (born February 1, 1990) is an American professional baseball infielder for the Oakland Athletics of Major League Baseball (MLB). He previously played in MLB for the Milwaukee Brewers.
Career
Orf played college baseball at the University of Illinois at Chicago for two seasons and then transferred to Baylor University for his final two seasons.
Milwaukee Brewers
He was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Milwaukee Brewers in 2013.[1]
On August 31, 2014, when he was playing for the Brevard County Manatees, Orf played all nine positions in a game against the Dunedin Blue Jays. He became the first Manatee to ever play all nine positions. The next day, on September 1, Orf was called up to the Huntsville Stars for the playoffs.[2] The Brewers promoted him to the major leagues on July 2, 2018.[3] Orf's first major league hit, a home run, came on July 4 at home against the Minnesota Twins pitcher José Berríos.[4] After the home run, Orf was carried out of the dugout by his teammates for a curtain call.[5] He was outrighted off the major league roster on August 31.[6]
He was assigned to San Antonio Missions for the 2019 season. He elected free agency following the 2019 season.
Oakland Athletics
On November 25, 2019, Orf signed a minor league contract, with an invite to major league spring training, with the Oakland Athletics.[7] On September 13, 2020, Orf was selected to the major league roster.[8]
