Christian
Lott

Two big right-handed hitters to make note of are 1B Jaden Franckowiak (Andrew, 2024) and CIF/RHP Christian Lott (Simeon, 2026). 

Lott, listed at 6-foot-3, 175-pounds with even more room to fill out, impressed with his simple, yet strong right-handed swing, remaining level through the zone and using his pull-side primarily. Lott also provides intrigue on the mound with an arm that plays from an over-the-top slot getting true four-seam action on his fastball with occasional ride through the zone.

Junior Futures Games: In Game two, Illinois took a loss to Team Louisiana 3-2 on a walk-off. Christian Lott toed the rubber for the game and showed advanced feel by commanding three pitches and topping out at 78 on the mound. He projects to be a high-follow on the mound with long loose levers and tons of pitchability. Lott also handled the bat well by lacing a double in the gap for a RBI.
