A Tampa-area high school pitcher named Patrick Schuster just pitched his 4th straight no-hitter Monday (yes - you read that right), breaking a 24 year old state record in the process. WoW!

Throughout the streak he recorded 60 strikeouts & 30 straight hitless innings.

Seriously, that might be the one of the more difficult, if not the most difficult feat I've have ever heard of. It is rare for anyone in their lifetime to see a single no-hitter pitched in Highschool or the Pros. For a kid to pitch his 4th in a row is absolutely mind boggling.. AND...to make the whole thing somehow sweeter, his herculean effort helped wrap up a state championship for his team. Dauumn!

I do agree that is a very difficult task to pull off, but its def much easier at the H.S. level than at the college or pro level. He could be playing in some bushy league in the state that only plays tiny catholic schools with 200 or less students who are required to play at least one sport or something. I mean I'm just saying...

I hear Doggy - but this kid was in fact was pitching in a decent Florida high-school league.
Regardless, the majority of high-school baseball is pretty good... I mean throwing a no hitter in pee-wee leaguge is pretty tough

4 in a row.....come on!

Yeah but did he bang out seniors as a freshmen? Be late to practice cause he was shooting deer? Bang out Steph before a big game, while wood watched? Buy beer at the age of 14? And pitch almost every game?
