Meet Patrick Schuster, the Oakland A's newest reliever

The Oakland A's added a new player to their roster on Monday, bringing up left-handed reliever Patrick Schuster. The 25-year-old has never pitched in the bigs, so when he gets the call to the mound he'll be the seventh player this season to make his MLB debut for the A's.

Back in high school, Schuster made national headlines by throwing four straight no-hitters, which somehow isn't an all-time record (which is six) but is still mighty impressive. It was such a big deal that he got to go to a Rays game and throw out the first pitch -- check out this video of a teenage Schuster getting tips from none other than Scott Kazmir.
