Hitting
Slaton never has been a patient hitter. Slaton always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency.
Baserunning & Defense
Slaton isn't a fluid shortstop, but he's not afraid to get dirty and gets the job done. His biggest problem in the field simply has to be his throwing arm... it's well below par. He has below-average speed and is stiff on the basepath. He's poor on a straight steal but has some success at reading pitchers and working a delayed steal.
2025 Outlook
Slaton isn't cutting the mustard in the low minors. It's time for Jonas to investigate other career options, like coaching highschool ball.
