We would like you to join us in welcoming Ellen Pinto to the Team Mizuno Northeast Staff! She comes to us with 16 years of baseball administrative experience. She will be assisting Nate, Kevin, Kelly, AJ and the rest of the coaching staff with the administrative part of the program. She will also help with communication and transitions into Hit Quarters for the upcoming Team Mizuno only clinics, batting, pitching and fielding instruction. Here are some words from Ellen:

“I am very excited to be part of Team Mizuno Northeast. I have been involved with baseball for over 20 years as a volunteer. I joined the board of directors for my sons little league program when he was 5 years old. I started as a concession stand manager then league president for over 10 years. Next, I became the District Administrator where I am currently responsible for over 10 leagues. Part of my duties include helping the leagues promote participation, I provide and explain the rules, I have assisted with forming and completing mergers and let’s not forget having fun. In addition, every Summer my staff and I run the local Williamsport tournament at the district and sectional level. One of my 9 year old teams was the first to win the State Tournament and move on to the Regional. I have had six teams go to Bristol CT for the Eastern Regional Finals. I look forward to meeting everyone and begin my Team Mizuno Journey, if you don’t see me and I don’t come over to introduce myself please say hello!”
