As this segment started here at IHOB, I said I was only going to write about possible first round picks for this year’s draft. That being said, Patrick Schuster has made me write about him. He is a pitcher for Mitchell High School in the Tampa, FL area, all he has recently accomplished is throwing 4 consecutive no hitters, no big deal. Schuster has said that this feat hasn’t hit him yet and he tries to not think about it while he’s on the mound. To put this streak into perspective, Zack Greinke of the Royals just had his streak of 38 innings without allowing a run to score; Schuster went 30 innings without allowing a hit during this streak. There is no denying that this feat is amazing, Schuster even recognizes that more scouts are coming to look at him pitch. But don’t look for this streak to push his stock up into the first round.
Schuster is still projected as a fourth round pick but he has signed on to play baseball at the University of Florida, so look for him to go there to develop his game further and boost his draft stock in the next few years while helping the Gators. The scouting report on Schuster has his stuff as just average right now with his fastball hitting 90 mph, his curveball sitting between 74-77 mph, and his changeup between 78-80 mph. Some team will most likely draft Schuster at some point in the draft but look for him to go to Florida to improve his abilities and become a first round pick later down the road.
