Jake Slade brings real gap-to-gap pop and run production to Murray State’s infield
Slade is coming off a strong 2024 at Virginia Tech, where he hit .538 in limited action and showed impact bat potential with 7 hits, 2 home runs, 7 RBIs, and a .750 fielding percentage in 10 games. The profile that jumps out is offensive upside: he already has power and on-base ability, and his quick production suggests he can punish mistakes when given a chance. For a team, he looks like a worthwhile fit if you want an infielder who can add offensive juice and has shown he can make the most of limited opportunities.
