Schultz continues to hold the NCAA record for most strikeouts in a nine-inning game, a record that has remained the standard for over 50 years since he sat down 26 batters against Wright State on April 3, 1971. His 1.06 ERA in 1970 led the nation and remains a Miami single-season record. Schultz posted a career ERA of 1.77, which ranks third all-time at Miami, and fanned 240 batters in his three years with the Red and White.

When he finished his career he held six Miami records. He earned All-MAC distinction three times, garnering first-team accolades in 1970 and 1971 and honorable mention honors in 1972. He helped Miami to a No. 29 national ranking in 1971 and reach No. 14 in 1972 in the final polls.

Schultz was drafted by the Chicago Cubs in 1972 and retired from baseball in 1981.
