Slaughter stood 5 feet 11 inches (1.80 m) tall, weighed 165 pounds (75 kg) and graduated from Arizona State University with a degree in education in 1963.[1]

In 1963, he had led the Double-A Texas League in earned run average (3.00).[1] In 1964 he appeared in 20 Major League games pitched, six as a starting pitcher, and won two of six decisions, giving up 64 hits and 32 bases on balls in 5123 innings pitched. He also recorded 32 strikeouts.
