9/23/18 - Rising Stars Showcase - Five-foot-11, 150-pounds, large frame that is long, with wiry strength throughout. Long limbs, high waist and large feet. At the plate Slawsby has explosive hands that he uses to whip the barrel through the hitting zone resulting in consistent barrel contact. Shows a middle-middle approach with sneaky power to the gaps and pull side. Loads early and does an excellent job of creating plane with the barrel. Plus runner out of the box. In the outfield he shows an above average arm that flashes carry with accuracy to the bag. He's athletic in his movements when approaching the ball. Gathers it out front while playing through with a quick, clean exchange. No wasted movements in his approach to the ball and release. Footwork is fluid and quick and he shows an understanding of angles and hops. Lots of projection with Slawsby in the outfield where he's a tick raw but his athleticism makes up for any deficiencies in his game out there.
