Bo Schultz

Pitching, Hitting, Defense

Bo grew up playing high school baseball at Highland Park HS in Dallas, Texas, and continued as a walk-on outfielder at Northwestern University in 2004. During his junior year, he was converted into a pitcher. Over the next two seasons, he progressed from reliever to closer to Big Ten Saturday starter. Following his senior year in 2008, the Oakland A’s signed him as an Undrafted-Free Agent, and he spent the year as a starter for the Arizona Athletics. He had great success for two years leading his teams in appearances and innings out of the bullpen with the Vancouver Canadians  in ’09 and Kane County Cougars in ’10. In 2011 he signed with the Grand Prairie Airhogs, an independent team in the American Association, and won a ring as American Association Champions.

Haven taken the road less traveled from high school to walking-on to a Big Ten team to signing undrafted with a major league organization and all the while having success, Bo knows how to relate to young athletes of all skill levels and help bring out the best in them.

Coach Stone’s comments on Bo Schultz - “Bo has a unique story that I think relates to every young man playing the game – ‘if you work hard, good things will happen.’  I think the best coaches are always guys that had to “work a little harder to get there.”  Bo is a coach that wants to give back and I know sees a lot of himself in many young players that love the game and just want a chance.”
