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.

That's impressive.

Schuster seeks no-no No. 5 next week

Truth be told, Cotey and I are emotionally spent after watching Mitchell lefty Patrick Schuster toss his state-record fourth no-hitter in a row against Pasco.

Every pitch was intense. Every swing that made contact with a Schuster pitch –– and there weren't many –– caused the stomach to tighten. Even Schuster himself said at times, he wanted it to end one way or the other.

"I was nervous probably for the first time during all this," Mustangs coach Scot Wilcox said.

Well, fellas, next week we do it all over again.

According to Wilcox, Schuster's next scheduled start is in the Class 6A, District 7 tournament on April 28. The opponent: either Gaither or St. Petersburg.

Schuster will enter the game two no-hitters shy of the national record –– according to the National High School Sports Record Book –– and riding a streak of 26 1/3 consecutive hitless innings.

The last hit he allowed: a two-out double to Alonso's Ray Delphey in the sixth inning of a March 24 win at Alonso.

"Until these last four or five games, I was set that my junior year was better than this year," Schuster said. "Coming out and doing stuff like this, I'm just having a blast."
