Karl Edgar Winsch (February 10, 1915 – December 21, 2001) was a pitcher and manager in Minor League Baseball. Listed at 5 ft 10 in (1.78 m), 180 lb., Winsch batted and threw right-handed.[1]

A native of Allentown, Pennsylvania, Karl Winsch spent two decades in baseball as a player and manager. A good pitching prospect, Winsch was signed by the Philadelphia Phillies in the early 1940s, but he never made the Major Leagues and had to conform with a modest career in the Phillies minor league system. After that, he managed in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League.[1][2]

Karl Winsch married Jean Faut, a pitcher for the South Bend Blue Sox in 1947. They were divorced after 21 years of marriage. He died in Quakertown, Pennsylvania, at the age of 86.[1]
