John Schultz

Who was John Schultz?

John Schultz [born John H. Schulze] was a catcher in Major League Baseball who played for the 1891 St. Louis Browns of the American Association. He was born in St. Louis, Missouri. Batting side and throwing arm are unknown.

Schultz was a major league player whose career, statistically speaking, was only slightly different than that of Eddie Gaedel or Moonlight Graham. On August 7, 1891, he debuted with the Browns and went hit-less in two at-bats. He did not have a fielding chance, and never appeared in a major league game again.

Schultz died in his native St. Louis at the age of 75.
