Reliable lefty who’s carved out a real role in Louisville’s 2026 staff
In the 2026 season, Schlageter has turned into a useful, low-drama bullpen-to-starting option for Louisville, giving up two scoreless innings in his first collegiate start in March and later handling multiple midweek and relief assignments, including scoreless work against Western Kentucky.[4][5][8] He’s a 6-foot-2, 215-pound junior left-hander who brings a three-pitch mix and feel for the zone from the left side, with prep reports noting easy effort, a short arm action, and a breaking ball with above-average zone feel.[1][2] Not a flashy strikeout monster, but he looks like a steady fit if you want a competitor who can give innings and keep the game from spiraling.
