Originally signed by the Cardinals as an amateur free agent in 1964, Coulter made his Major League debut at the age of 24 on September 18, 1969, against the Pittsburgh Pirates, facing pitcher Steve Blass, finishing the game 0-for-2, after which Julián Javier pinch hit for him in the eighth inning.

His second big league game, on September 26, 1969, was against the Montreal Expos where Coulter went 4-for-5, with a double and three RBIs, which saw the Cardinals win 12–1.

He was traded with Jim Beauchamp, Harry Parker and Chuck Taylor from the Cardinals to the New York Mets for Art Shamsky, Jim Bibby, Rich Folkers and Charlie Hudson on October 18, 1971.
