In addition, in his two years with Bergen CC, Winters helped promote five of his pitchers to NCAA programs.
Winters also has five seasons of experience as a Head Coach in college summer leagues. He served as the skipper for the Carolina Forest Crawdads in the Beach Collegiate League (Myrtle Beach, SC), the Chillicothe Mudcats in the MINK League (Chillicothe, MO) and the North Jersey Eagles and Team Different Breed in the Metropolitan Collegiate League (Paramus, NJ).
