Pint attended St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Overland Park, Kansas. As a freshman, he had a 3–2 win–loss record with a 3.19 earned run average (ERA), and 35 strikeouts. As a sophomore, Pint went 8–0 with a 2.58 ERA and 57 strikeouts.[1] As a junior, he was 5–2 with a 2.20 ERA and 47 strikeouts.[2] Prior to his senior year, Pint and Jason Groome were the only two high school students on the Golden Spikes Award watchlist.[3] Pint also played basketball in high school.[4]

Pint was considered a top prospect for the 2016 MLB 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 Class A South Atlantic League, where he went 2-11 with a 5.42 ERA in 22 games started.[11] He returned to Asheville to begin 2018, and injured his forearm in his first start,[12] landing him on the 7-day disabled list.[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,[15] but missed time due to injury; over ​17 2⁄3 innings, he went 0-1 with an 8.66 ERA and 23 strikeouts.[16]
