Schlosser was drafted by the Atlanta Braves in the 17th round of the 2011 Major League Baseball Draft out of Florida Southern College. In 2013, he pitched for the Double—A Mississippi Braves and finished with a 2.39 earned run average.

Invited to spring training by the Braves in 2014, Schlosser competed for a bullpen spot on the Braves opening day roster.[1][2][3] On March 29, it was announced that he had made the team.[4] He made his major league debut against the Milwaukee Brewers on March 31, throwing 14 pitches to four batters.[5] He was sent to the minors in July.[6]

Schlosser became a free agent on December 2, 2014 after he was non-tendered by the Braves.[7] The Braves then signed Schlosser to a minor league contract.[8] On January 30, 2015, the Braves traded Schlosser and David Hale to the Colorado Rockies for minor league catchers Jose Briceno and Chris O'Dowd.[9] Schlosser was released by the Rockies on July 31, 2015.[10]

He signed with the Somerset Patriots of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball on August 9, 2015.[11][12]
