Paul Ray Powell (born March 19, 1948) is a retired American professional baseball player. Powell was the seventh player selected overall, and the first round pick of the Minnesota Twins, in the 1969 Major League Baseball draft. But he would appear in only in 39 MLB games over parts of three seasons as an outfielder and catcher for the Twins (1971) and Los Angeles Dodgers (1973 and 1975). Although modern sources list him only by his first name, during his baseball career he was referred to as "Paul Ray" Powell.
