Pasco-Hernando State College (PHSC) has announced that longtime head baseball coach Steve Winterling will step down, but will remain in his role as the college’s athletic director.
He will be replaced by Lyndon Coleman, who has served as PHSC assistant baseball coach and recruiting coordinator for the past three years. Coleman played baseball at PHSC and Barry University before beginning his coaching career in 2013.
Winterling, meanwhile, started the PHSC baseball program in 1991 and has been the program’s only coach in its 27-year history, finishing with a record of 688-581-4.
He came to PHSC from Florida State University after serving six years under Mike Martin, the all-time winningest coach in NCAA baseball.
The PHSC Bobcats finished 36-18 this past season, the 11th consecutive winning season for the program. The 36 wins were second most in school history, one behind the record of 37 set in 2009.
