Biographical Information

Pitcher Mike Schultz made his Major League debut for the Arizona Diamondbacks on April 20, 2007, pitching one scoreless inning in relief against the San Francisco Giants.

2007 was his only season in the major leagues, but he then played for the Hiroshima Toyo Carp of Japan's Central League, going 3-4 with a 3.23 ERA in 2008, and following that up in 2009 by going 5-3 with a save and 2.28 ERA. The second year, he allowed a .209 average. He had the lowest ERA of any Carp hurler with 50+ innings and his 73 games pitched tied Tetsuya Yamaguchi for second in the CL behind Scott Atchison.

Ironically, he was the second major league pitcher named Mike Schultz; the first Mike Schultz had also pitched in just one major league game and it came sixty years to the day before his namesake pitched his lone game.
