He played for ten seasons in minor league baseball, hitting 136 home runs. However, he spent only one full season in the Majors—1957 with Cincinnati (21 games) and Washington (77 games)—hitting a personal MLB career-high four homers and knocking in 39 runs. His 111 career big-league hits included 24 doubles as well as six homers. He retired after the 1960 campaign.

Schult died on July 25, 2014, at the age of 86.[1]
