[h3]High schooler throws fourth straight no-no[/h3]
Florida senior strikes out 60 batters during stretch

Patrick Schuster isn't a Major Leaguer but he's been pulling off one big league feat after another.

Schuster, a high school senior in a suburb of Tampa, Fla., pitched his fourth straight no-hitter Monday night, leading his Mitchell High team to a 5-0 win over rival Pasco with 17 strikeouts, according to The Associated Press.

"I never thought this would happen," Schuster told the AP. "I'm just having so much fun right now."

Schuster has thrown no-hitters in each of his four starts since April 3 and has struck out 60 batters in the games. He has improved his record to 7-0, and his team is 19-3.

Schuster has a fastball that has been clocked at more than 90 mph and plans to play at the University of Florida next year.

In the meantime, he's still got two more no-hitters to throw to match the high school record of six straight.

a guy from my high school pitched two perfect games in less than two weeks earlier this season.

props to this guy though

I was watching MLB Networks' Prime 9 and the episode I caught was talking about Johnny Vander Meer's 2 no-hitters in a row. I forgot who theyinterviewed but that person said that no one will ever outshine Vander Meer. He said "no one will ever pitch 3 straight no-hitters... I don't care whoyou are." I know Patrick Schuster's streak is against high schoolers, but still, it's an amazing feat. Congrats to the dude...




... and R.I.P. to his streak.

 

[persiafly]

Doesn't this happen relatively often at the high-school level? I don't know about four in a row, but no hitters aren't nearly as rare, if I'mnot mistaken. Some girl at my high school pitched like 10 perfect games in a fast-pitch softball season.

Ended up going to Notre Dame.
