Minor League Baseball today announced their end-of-the-season All-Star teams for the three Double-A Leagues. These teams are decided by a vote of the managers in each league. Three members of the Tennessee Smokies—third baseman Jake Slaughter and outfielders Alexander Canario and Yonathan Perlaza—were named to the Southern League All-Star team.
Slaughter, the Cubs’ 18th-round pick in 2018 out of LSU, started the season in High-A South Bend but was promoted to Tennessee after just 20 games. The 25-year-old spent the rest of the year in Double-A, hitting .293/.389/.534 with 20 home runs and 28 steals in 86 games with the Smokies.
