George Washington "Kid" Stutz (February 13, 1889 – December 29, 1930) was an American Major League Baseball shortstop. Stutz played for the Philadelphia Phillies in the season. In 6 career games, he had no hits in 9 at-bats. He batted and threw right-handed.

Stutz is pictured here in a Philadelphia Athletics uniform. This picture was taken in 1924 when Stutz was hired by Connie Mack to serve as a base coach and on-field entertainer for the Athletics.[1] The moustache and beard he wore in the photograph were props he used in his on-field capering. In addition to "Kid," his other nickname was "Satan,"[2] and no one knows why.

Stutz was born and died in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
