08/04/2008 - College PREP - Cleveland, OH Ryan is a two way player in the OF and on the mound from the left side. He has a well above average body that shows a lot of projection. He currently does project best on the mound for the next level. Arm strength is solid average with his fastball displaying arm side run. Breaking ball is near above average showing a 2/8 shape with tight spin and late break. He does need to develop a better changeup. He throws a slider that looks just like his curveball. He continues to show off his arm strength in the outfield showing life and carry on his throws. He gets rid of the ball quickly, playing through the baseball with his feet and hands. Foot speed is average and he takes proper routes and angles in tracking down balls. At the plate, Slack shows below average ability. He does need instruction to correct some mechanical flaws at the plate to hit at the next level. Ryan will catch the eyes of the college coaches with his abilities on the mound.
