RHP Jackson Schlott (Plainfield North, 2026) emerged as an intriguing arm in the ‘26 class on Sunday. The 6-foot-1, 240-pound right-hander has a simple operation; moving with a medium leg-lift into balance point and maintaining a slight bend in the back knee while striding down the mound. His arm is long out of the glove and plays with looseness throughout its’ circle, moving into a ¾ release. Schlott worked his fastball right in the 78-79 mph range with over 17” of run at times. His curveball showed out-pitch potential, spinning over 2,300 RPM at times with sharp 11/5 action. He featured a knuckleball with killed spin at 67-69 mph, playing with unpredictable action through the zone. His final offering was a changeup at 72-73 mph, playing mostly straight and thrown with intent.

Schlott is a physical right handed arm for this Rhino Calz squad. Listed at 6-foot, 230-pounds, Schlott’s physicality is well beyond his years. Despite his imposing stature, Schlott is an athletic mover while on the bump as he uses a methodical delivery to create fastballs up to 78 mph. He couples his heater with a sharp 11/5 breaking ball that he flashed feel for, using it sparingly. Nonetheless, his talents on the mound was something our staff came away impressed with and he will be a name to follow as he starts his high school career.
