Can anybody hit this kid?

A Florida high schooler threw his third straight no-hitter on Monday night, tying a 24-year-old state record in the process, the St. Petersburg Times said.


Mitchell High School's Patrick Schuster struck out 16 Clearwater Central Catholic hitters en route to the no-no and a 2-0 win. His no-hitter streak began on April 3, with a 17-strikeout performance, which he followed with another no-hitter on April 8, the Times said.
"It's great," Schuster said to the Times. "I can't think of a more perfect time for this. There were 15-20 scouts there and most of them were bosses of guys watching me. I'm having a blast right now."
Schuster, a lefty, has signed with the University of Florida, but is also projected as an early-round draft pick, the Times said.
"I tell you what, he's just in a zone right now," said his coach Scot Wilcox to the Times. "It's like business. He went to work. There were a lot of scouts there and a lot of anticipation and he lived up to it."
The Times, citing an Orlando Sentinel reporter/state records archivist, said Schuster's feat tied Gonzalez Tate's Ben Webb's 24-year-old state record. Schuster will try for his fourth straight no-hitter on April 20.

A friend of mine is an assistant for a Div 1 college that scouted him. He told me he's a 6 foot bean pole. Tops out in high 80s, He's got a funky over the top delivery.. A left handed Lincecum perhaps. But he really throws himself into every pitch and my buddy thinks he's going to have major arm & shoulder problems down the road.

"Besides his abilities on the mound - Schuster is ranked No. 42 on Baseball America's list of the Top 100 High School Prospects - O'Sullivan said the senior's overall character sealed the deal for a scholarship offering."

Mix in college prospects and he probably is a third round pick.
