5 Ks in One Inning!: Some guys have all the luck. And then there's this minor league pitcher from Lancaster, CA, with no luck at all.
At the risk of stating the obvious, that's gotta be some kind of record.

to have the third strike end up as a wild pitch twice either suggests that he has some hell of a movement on his money ball or the batters took the opportunity to take a swing at something they knew was wild because they liked their chances of beating the ball to first base.

gspm, I'm thinking there's a reason he has heat but is still in the minors...

Send that man up to the majors! Can he possibly be worse than Randy Choate?

Not only that, but he struck the same batter out twice in that same inning.
