Patrick Bowen Schultz (born September 25, 1985) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Toronto Blue Jays of Major League Baseball (MLB). He made his MLB debut in 2014 with the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Professional career
Schultz attended Highland Park High School in University Park, Texas,[1] and Northwestern University, where he played college baseball for the Northwestern Wildcats. He had a 3-10 win–loss record and a 9.13 earned run average in college.[2] Unchosen in the 2008 Major League Baseball Draft, he signed as a free agent with the Oakland Athletics, who taught him to use the sidearm delivery. While pitching for the Vancouver Canadians of the Class A-Short Season Northwest League in 2009, Schultz was named the league's Pitcher of the Week on September 7.[3]
Schultz was released from the Athletics organization in 2011 and spent the remainder of the season in independent baseball. He then signed with the Diamondbacks before the 2012 season.[4] The Diamondbacks added Schultz to their 40-man roster after the 2013 season.[5]
Schultz competed for a spot on the Diamondbacks' Opening Day roster in spring training in 2014. With the ability to carry ten relief pitchers on the roster for a two-game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers in Sydney, Australia,[6] he was named to their Opening Day roster,[7] with the expectation that the Diamondbacks would assign him to the Reno Aces of the Class AAA Pacific Coast League after the series.[6] He made his MLB debut on March 22, 2014.[8] Schultz pitched eight innings for the Diamondbacks, in which he allowed seven earned runs on 13 hits and one walk, while recording five strikeouts.[9]
On October 7, 2014, the Toronto Blue Jays acquired Schultz from the Diamondbacks on waivers.[9] Schultz was optioned to the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons on March 25, 2015. He was recalled on May 29.[10] Schultz made his debut for the Blue Jays on June 2, pitching 2 relief innings against the Washington Nationals. On July 23, he earned his first MLB save, closing out a 5–2 win over the Oakland Athletics. During the 2015 offseason, Schultz underwent left hip surgery, and was expected to miss most if not all of 2016 spring training.[11]
