Biographical Information

Erik Schullstrom holds the major-league record for most innings pitched (60) without recording a win or loss. He did have one save.

Schullstrom was originally drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays 620th overall in the 24th round of the 1987 amateur draft. Deciding not to sign, he had to wait until 1990 to be drafted again, when he was selected 51st overall in the 2nd round by the Baltimore Orioles.

In the minors, Schullstrom spent time starting and relieving. Perhaps his best minor league season as a starter was in 1991, where he went 5-6 with a 3.05 ERA and 73 k's in 85+ innings. His best season as a reliever in the minors was 1994 with the Nashville Sounds, when he had a 2.63 ERA in 26 games, and 43 strikeouts in 41 innings.

On September 27, 1995, Schullstrom played his final Major League game. Even though this was the end to his Major League career, he was seen playing in Japan as recently as 2002.

Schullstrom wore the number 58 during both of his stints with the Minnesota Twins. After retiring, Schullstrom resided in Alameda, CA.
