MY PINTO PHILOSOPHY
My number one priority is to prepare these players for the upper levels of baseball or softball.  I need every player to know where each positon is on the field and the responsiblities of each position (we will spend time on this at practice).  This year we will be concentrating on playing baseball correctly.  This means that there will be no more pitchers running home to force a runner from 3rd.  They will throw to the catcher.  This means that there will be no more outfielders covering 2nd base on ground balls.  It will be the responsibility of the 2nd baseman or shortstop.  There will be no more 3rd basemen attempting to catch pop-ups at 2nd base.  WE WILL PLAY BASEBALL HOW BASEBALL IS MEANT TO BE PLAYED.  If we end up losing an end of the year tournament game because of sticking to this concept, then so be it.  We will have confidence in all our teammates and ALWAYS support them and cheer them on.  THERE IS NO "I" in "TEAM".
