Scott Joseph Winchester (born April 20, 1973) is an American former professional baseball player. A pitcher, Winchester played all or parts of four seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Cincinnati Reds between 1997 and 2001.
Winchester attended Clemson University from 1993 to 1996, where he was a 3-time Letterman. In 1994, he played collegiate summer baseball with the Falmouth Commodores of the Cape Cod Baseball League and was named a league all-star.[1][2] In 1995, he set what was then a school record for most pitching appearances by a Clemson pitcher with 33 (he now shares that record with 3 other former Clemson pitchers), all of them in relief; also in 1995, he had a Clemson single-season record ERA of 0.59.[3] He finished his 3-year Clemson career with a 1.70 ERA.
Among his honors, Winchester was an ACC Player of the Week twice in 1994, and a member of the 1995 1st Team All-ACC Tournament team. Winchester was a Freshman All-American in 1993, an honor he shared with teammate, Shane Monahan. He was a Clemson All-American in both 1994 and 1995, as well as an All-ACC Selection. In 1995, he was an ABCA, Baseball America, and Collegiate Baseball All-American; he was both a First Team All-ACC player on the field and on the ACC Academic Honor Roll. That year, he was ranked 6th in the NCAA in saves with 14.
