Bill Pintard, Coach

Bill Pintard

Manager and Executive Director

America’s most successful summer-ball coach, and a Santa Barbara-area baseball legend, returns for his 27th season at the helm of the Foresters. Bill’s Foresters have finished in the top four nationally every year since 2003 except once, an unmatched record of success among summer-ball teams. He led them to NBC World Series National Championships in 2006, 2008, 2011, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2018, 2020, 2021, and 2022—the most titles in NBC World Series History. And there’s more: Bill has . . :

• Won more than 1,100 games

• Won 21 CCL titles

• Won six California state championships

• Won 11 CCL manager of the year awards

• Winner of Sportsmanship Award at World Series

• Winner of 2008, 2011, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2020 NBC Manager of the Year

• Most consecutive seasons in the NBC World Series

• Named to NBC World Series Hall of Fame, 2014

• Won more than 100 NBC games

Bill directs the work of the Foresters off the field as well, whether that means raising funds, supporting Hugs for Cubs, leading board meetings, or meeting with the media, sponsors, and community leaders. Away from his busy Foresters life, Bill runs a commercial real estate business and is a scout for the New York Yankees, helping other young ballplayers realize their diamond dreams. Bill was honored for his work with young people by being named an Olympic torchbearer in 2000 and was named a “Local Hero” by the Santa Barbara Independent in 2003. In 2009, he was given the prestigious Sparky Anderson Award by the Association of Professional Ballplayers for his ongoing contributions to baseball player development. He is on the board of the Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table and was elected to its Hall of Fame in 2011. He also was instrumental in arranging the Foresters’ two trips to Cuba to play top teams on that island.
