Last week, we linked to a story about a high school pitcher who had thrown three no-hitters in a row.  Well, when you stretch that streak to four, you get your own post.  Patrick Schuster is the pitcher in question, a 6’3″, 175-pound Tampa-area lefthander who struck out 17 hitters en route to a state-record fourth consecutive no-no.

Schuster’s streak began April 3. He’s piled up 60 strikeouts in the four games, helping Mitchell to a 19-3 record. He’s 7-0 on the season. [Google]

In 53 innings pitched this season, Schuster (8-0) has 110 strikeouts and a 0.73 ERA. He hasn’t been bad at the plate, either, posting a .424 batting average and 17 RBI. [baynews9]

I get a weird feeling this kid might have a chance at playing professional ball someday.  I also get a weird feeling I can’t describe when I look at him, which is probably why I’m not allowed within 300 feet of any school grounds.
