As a minor league pitcher, there are a few ways that one can get noticed. One of the best ways is to put up a number that is absolutely dominating, vastly outperforming the competition. That is what Tampa Bay Rays prospect Jaime Schultz did last season, as he struck out a system leading 163 batters in 130.2 innings, as he struck out 11.2 batters per nine innings.
Strikeout rates such as those are nothing new for the Rays farmhand. Since being drafted in the 14th round out of High Point University in the 2013 MLB Amateur Draft, Schultz has blown away the opposition.
