One of the great power hitters in school history, Paul Winterling enjoyed a standout four-year career for head coachÂ
Bob Babb's baseball team from 2002-05.
Winterling left his mark throughout the Blue Jay record book as he totaled 147 hits, 31 home runs, 41 doubles, 136 RBIs, 132 runs scored and 289 total bases. He ranked in the top five in school history in five different categories when he graduated as he was second in home runs and total bases and fifth in doubles, RBIs and runs scored.
In addition to his career marks, Winterling became the first player in school history to hit 10 or more home runs in two different seasons and posted an .817 slugging percentage in 2003 that remains one of the top five marks in school history.
The 2003 Centennial Conference Player of the Year, Winterling was a two-time First Team All-Centennial selection and was twice an American Baseball Coaches Association All-Region honoree as well.
Winterling helped lead Johns Hopkins to a four-year record of 141-29 (.829) with three Centennial Conference titles and three trips to the NCAA Tournament. The 141 wins the Blue Jays amassed during his career rank third in any four-year period in school history and the .829 winning percentage is by far the best in a four-year stretch.
As a junior in 2004, Winterling guided the Blue Jays to a 40-4 record that included a 33-game season-opening winning streak. Johns Hopkins jumped to number one in the national rankings midway through the season to become the first Division III team in school history in any sport to be ranked number one in the nation.
