Early life
Schultz was born in Burlington, New Jersey, but his date of birth is unknown.
1891 season
The Philadelphia Phillies signed Schultz to a contract prior to the 1891 season;[2] he began play with the Phillies on May 6, pitching against the Brooklyn Grooms in Philadelphia's 13th game of the season.[3] On May 27, he allowed the only home run of his career to cleanup hitter Bug Holliday of the Cincinnati Reds, a two-run shot in the bottom of the ninth inning.[4] He made one start during that year in a 2–1 loss at Baker Bowl against the Reds,[5] and finished the other five games in which he appeared.
For the season, Schultz compiled an 0–1 record, pitching alongside such Phillies as 20-game winners Kid Gleason and Duke Esper.[6] He allowed 15 runs, 11 of them earned, in 15 innings pitched to total a 6.60 earned run average. He struck out four batters while walking eleven, a ratio of 0.36.[1] At the plate, Schultz made six plate appearances, collecting six at-bats, in which he notched one hit—a double—and struck out twice. In his appearances on base, he also scored three runs.[7] As a fielder, he had one chance for a putout, recording an assist and making no errors for a fielding percentage of 1.000;[6] he recorded a range factor of 0.60,[7] averaging 0.17 per game.[6]
Career
Schultz had a contemporary at catcher who shared his name: John Schultz, sometimes spelled "Schulze", of the St. Louis Browns.[8] Both men played only during the 1891 season.[1][8]
