In an abbreviated stint with Low-A Kannapolis last season, Schultz showed off a big fastball and biting slider. In 10 starts, the 6-foot-9 southpaw recorded a 1.33 ERA while striking out 38 in 27 innings. “The time I was out there, I was really successful,” Schultz said. “I hope to continue that moving forward.”Last year, Schultz strained his left forearm in spring training and didn’t make his first start with Kannapolis until June 2. A left shoulder impingement ended his season in mid August.

The bad news is the regular season opens next Thursday and the right-hander is going to be on the injured list.
