James Henry Winters, Jr. (April 29, 1899 – December 12, 1971), nicknamed "Nip" and "Jesse", was a pitcher and first baseman in Negro league baseball, playing for many top eastern teams from 1920 to 1933, and considered one of the top left-handed pitchers of his day.

At age 53, Winters received votes listing him on the 1952 Pittsburgh Courier player-voted poll of the Negro leagues' best players ever.

[3] He was acquired by the Atlantic City Bacharach Giants in early 1921, and threw a no-hitter for them against the Indianapolis ABCs on July 26,1922.

He was highly respected amongst his peers, and was chosen by a number of former Negro Leagues players and managers to their "All-Time Teams", including Chappie Johnson and Doc Lambert.

Winters would often participate in exhibition games against MLB stars after the season concluded, squaring off against the likes of Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, and Lefty Grove.
