==Frontier League era==
The Chillicothe Paints were one of the eight original franchises to begin Frontier League play in 1993. Two teams, the [[West Virginia Coal Sox]] and the [[Tri-State Tomahawks]], did not complete the season as the league struggled with stability.<ref name="auto" /> In 1994, the Paints featured [[Brian Tollberg]] who went 7–4, 2.48 ERA, and was then signed by the [[Milwaukee Brewers]] organization. Tollberg would become the first Frontier League alumnus to make the [[Major League Baseball|majors]] when he started for the [[San Diego Padres]] on June 7, 2000, pitching 7 innings in a 3-1 Padres victory.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.jefflouderback.com/brian-tollberg-book-the-long-awaited-day-chapter/ |title=Brian Tollberg Book: "The Long-Awaited Day" chapter |website=Jeff Louderback |date=April 8, 2019}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/t/tollbbr01.shtml |title=Brian Tollberg Stats |website=[[Baseball-Reference.com]]}}</ref>

The league solidified and the Paints found their footing by 1996 when Chillicothe dominated the league with a 48-26 (.649) record, advancing to the Frontier League championship, losing to the [[Springfield Capitals]] 3–0 in the best of five series.<ref>{{Cite news |first=Mark |last=Soxka |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/79484120/chillicothe-gazette/ |title=Paints come up dry |newspaper=[[Chillicothe Gazette]] |date=September 3, 1996 |page=5 |via=[[newspapers.com]]}}</ref> This was the first of six championship series appearances for the Paints during the Frontier League era, none of which resulted in a championship. The 1996 Paints were led by a trio of power bats in Scott Pinoni (.384 BA, 11 HR, 65 RBI), Jackie Jempsen (.340 BA, 13 HR, 57 RBI) and Mitch House (.305 BA, 18 HR, 53 RBI).<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.statscrew.com/minorbaseball/stats/t-cp10878/y-1996 |title=1996 Chillicothe Paints minor league baseball Statistics |website=StatsCrew.com}}</ref>

The [[Boston Red Sox]] took notice of his resurrected career and signed him after 39 games of the 1999 season.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=mcbrid001cha|title=Gator McBride Minor & Independent Leagues Statistics & History|website=Baseball-Reference.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/79494394/chillicothe-gazette/ |title='Gator' a hit with Paints fans |first=Monk |last=Sonka |newspaper=Chillicothe Gazette |date=July 2, 1998 |page=6 |via=newspapers.com}}</ref> His career was cut short by injuries sustained in an automobile accident in February 2000, forcing him into retirement.<ref>{{Cite news |first=Phil |last=Gray |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/79484567/chillicothe-gazette/ |title=New beginning |newspaper=Chillicothe Gazette |date=February 2, 2003 |page=11 |via=newspapers.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |first=Phil |last=Gray |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/79484600/chillicothe-gazette/ |title=Beginning |newspaper=Chillicothe Gazette |date=February 2, 2003 |page=12 |via=newspapers.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.courierpress.com/story/sports/2017/07/09/castle-grad-mcbride-named-frontier-league-hall-fame/103479910/ |title=Castle grad McBride named to Frontier League Hall of Fame |first=Gordon |last=Engelhardt |newspaper=[[Evansville Courier & Press]] |date=July 9, 2017}}</ref>

==Prospect League era==
Since 2009, the Chillicothe Paints have competed in the [[Prospect League]], an amateur collegiate summer league. In 2010, the Paints won their first Prospect League championship against the [[Danville Dans]] on an 11th inning [[walk off home run]] by Ian Nielsen.<ref>{{Cite news |first=Phil |last=Gray |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/79487581/chillicothe-gazette/ |title=Style points |newspaper=Chillicothe Gazette |date=August 12, 2010 |page=9 |via=newspapers.com}}</ref> The 2010 Paints were led by OF Jeff Holm (.359 BA, 11 HR, 60 RBI), pitcher Blake Mascarello (7-1, 2.86 ERA) and closer Kyle Lindquist (4-1, 10 saves, 2.86 ERA).<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://chillicothe.bbstats.pointstreak.com/team_stats.html?teamid=237&seasonid=204&view=batting&bset=|title=Chillicothe Paints &#124; Pointstreak Stats|website=chillicothe.bbstats.pointstreak.com}}</ref>

The Paints celebrated their 25th season in 2017. As part of the festivities, the Paints retired longtime coach Marty Dunn's number 25 in a pregame ceremony that included former players and staff throughout the first 24 seasons of Paints baseball. That season, the Paints averaged 1,959 fans per game, setting a franchise record in both average attendance and total attendance. The 58,755 total attendance marked a new Prospect League record. The Paints ranked in the top 10 of all summer collegiate teams nationwide in per-game attendance in 2017.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.prospectleague.com/view/prospectleague/about-prospect-league-baseball-the-premier-midwestern-college-summer-baseball-league/the-history-of-prospect-league-baseball-and-the-central-illinois-collegiate-league-cicl#:~:text=The%20Prospect%20League%20is%20the,of%20NCAA%20certified%20summer%20baseball.|title = The history of Prospect League baseball and the Central Illinois Collegiate League (CICL) &#124; Prospect Collegiate Baseball LLC}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.chillicothepaints.com/view/paints/news-1147/news_465358|title=Paints Debut 25th Anniversary Logo & Season Ticket Deal &#124; Chillicothe Paints|website=www.chillicothepaints.com}}</ref>

After missing the playoffs in 2016 and 2017, Chillicothe made a return to the playoffs in 2018, losing to the [[Kokomo Jackrabbits]] two games to one in the East Division Championship Series. It was the first playoff appearance for manager Brian Bigam since he took over the reins in 2016. Jack Raines was named the Prospect League's Galen Woods Fireman of the Year (Reliever of the Year).<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.prospectleague.com/view/prospectleague/prospect-league-stats/prospect-league-record-book|title=Prospect League Record Book &#124; Prospect Collegiate Baseball LLC|website=www.prospectleague.com}}</ref>

The Paints began the 2019 season 2–7, but went 41-14 the rest of the campaign (including 3–1 in the playoffs) and defeated the Danville Dans in a one-game East Division Championship Game and then, after losing game one of the Prospect League Championship Series at home to the league's newest team, the Cape Catfish, the Paints won games two and three in Cape Girardeau, Mo., to capture the franchise's second league title. Trailing 2–1 in the middle of the game, Trey Smith hit a grand slam to put Chillicothe in the lead 5–2, the eventual final score.<ref>{{Cite news |first=David |last=Wysong |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/79488114/chillicothe-gazette/ |title=Paints win 2019 Championship |newspaper=Chillicothe Gazette |date=August 15, 2019 |page=B1 |via=newspapers.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |first=David |last=Wysong |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/79488164/chillicothe-gazette/ |title=Paints |newspaper=Chillicothe Gazette |date=August 15, 2019 |page=B2 |via=newspapers.com}}</ref> Closer Nate Haugh was named the Prospect League's Galen Woods Fireman of the Year (Reliever of the Year) and the team was paced by C Cole Andrews (.320 BA, 11 HR, 61 RBI) and pitcher Austin Calopietro (6-1, 2.47 ERA).<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://chillicothe.bbstats.pointstreak.com/team_stats.html?teamid=237&seasonid=32011&view=pitching|title=Chillicothe Paints &#124; Pointstreak Stats|website=chillicothe.bbstats.pointstreak.com}}</ref> For the first time in team history, the Paints averaged at least 2,000 fans per game (2,037) and totaled 57,040 for the season, leading the league and ranking 15th nationally in both categories among similar type teams nationwide.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://ballparkdigest.com/2019/08/12/2019-summer-collegiate-attendance-by-average/|title=2019 Summer Collegiate Attendance by Average|last=Reichard|first=Kevin|date=2019-08-12|website=Ballpark Digest|language=en-US|access-date=2019-11-04}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://ballparkdigest.com/2019/08/12/2019-summer-collegiate-attendance-by-total/|title=2019 Summer Collegiate Attendance by Total|last=Reichard|first=Kevin|date=2019-08-12|website=Ballpark Digest|language=en-US|access-date=2019-11-04}}</ref>
