Schultz has a lot of things going for him this year. Another not mentioned above would be the shorter season. Since he has never faced the 82 game schedule, he may be able to keep up an above normal pace for the duration of this season where younger players would typically tire in the second half.
Is not entirely out of the question, he could put up numbers comparable to those guys this year, but I can't put him in the same company as the names you listed yet.
