5-foot-10, 160-pounds. The right-hander works from a high-¾ slot with a long reach out of the glove, into a compact arm swing through his delivery. His fastball ranged from 79-81 mph. Curveball had early break at 64-67 mph, while his changeup was 74 mph. A two-way player and right-handed hitter, Slate has an aggressive hack with a balanced, low-hanging leg kick that allows him to square the ball up during BP with a top exit velocity of 78 mph. Loose hands on a flat path create hard contact through the middle of the field as the barrel stays in the zone a long time. On the infield, Slate has a quick first step as he plays light on his feet ranging to his left and right. Soft hands out front as he exchanges the ball near his back hip. Accurate arm across the diamond with a top velocity of 78 mph.
