Dominance has been the theme in Johnson City this spring for McCray Jacobs and Johnny Slawinski. The left-handed pitchers were nearly unhittable, helping the Eagles to a district title and top-15 ranking in Class 2A.
PUBLISHED 7:58 AM CDT May 10, 2023AUSTIN, Texas — Dominance has been the theme in Johnson City this spring for McCray Jacobs and Johnny Slawinski.
“They definitely feed off of each other," said Johnson City head coach Steven Shipley. "It's a constant competition." "We always have to have the competitive aspect," said Slawinski, a sophomore lefthander. "It’s mostly friendly, nothing really serious, except the 100 strikeouts was pretty serious.” The strikeout rate for Jacobs and Slawinski works out to around 16 or 17 per seven-inning game, meaning there are only a few balls put in play each time they're on the mound.“Every once in a while, I'll have to yell out of the dugout, 'hey, y'all be ready, wake up,'" Shipley said. "We might only get four or five chances in a game.”
