Colorado Rockies

[edit | edit source]

Pint was considered a top prospect for the 2016 Major League Baseball draft.[1][5][6] He was drafted by the Colorado Rockies with the fourth overall pick of the draft.[7] He was committed to Louisiana State University (LSU) to play college baseball, but signed with the Rockies.[8][9] He spent his first professional season with the Grand Junction Rockies of the Rookie-level Pioneer League, where he posted a 1–5 record with a 5.35 ERA in 11 starts.[10] Pint spent 2017 with the Asheville Tourists of the Single-A South Atlantic League, where he pitched 93 innings and went 2–11 with a 5.42 ERA, 79 strikeouts, and 59 walks in 22 games started.[11] He returned to Asheville to begin 2018, and injured his forearm in his first start, landing him on the 7-day disabled list.[12][13] After returning from the injury, he was reassigned to the Boise Hawks and started three games for them, compiling a 1.13 ERA in eight innings pitched.[14]

Pint returned to Asheville in 2019, but missed time due to injury; over 17+2⁄3 innings, he went 0–1 with an 8.66 ERA and 23 strikeouts.[15][16] Pint did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[17] To begin the 2021 season, he was assigned to the Spokane Indians of the High-A West League.[18] He continued to struggle with his control, striking out 17 while walking 10 in 10+2⁄3 innings pitched, before he decided to retire on June 8, 2021.[19]

On March 4, 2022, Pint un-retired and rejoined the Rockies organization.[20] He split the season between the Double-A Hartford Yard Goats and the Triple-A Albuquerque Isotopes, logging a cumulative 2–2 record and 4.53 ERA with 58 strikeouts in 45+2⁄3 innings pitched across 41 appearances.

On November 15, 2022, the Rockies added Pint to the 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft.[21] Pint suffered a mild oblique strain during spring training and was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque to begin the 2023 season.[22] In 13 games for Albuquerque, Pint worked to a 7.41 ERA with 24 strikeouts in 17 innings pitched. On May 14, 2023, the Rockies announced that Pint would be promoted to the major leagues for the first time.[23]

Pint was optioned to Triple–A Albuquerque to begin the 2024 season.[24] In 4 games for the Rockies, he struggled to a 21.60 ERA with 7 strikeouts over 3+1⁄3 innings pitched. On August 17, 2024, Pint was removed from the 40–man roster and sent outright to Albuquerque.[25] He elected free agency following the season on November 4.[26]

Cleveland Guardians

[edit | edit source]

On January 22, 2025, Pint signed a minor league contract with the Cleveland Guardians.[27] However, he did not make an appearance for the organization, and elected free agency following the season on November 6.[28]
