Slocumb began his Major League career with the Chicago Cubs in 1991, working his way into a bullpen role before joining the Cleveland Indians organization. His development as a relief pitcher eventually brought him to Philadelphia, where he became an important contributor during the middle of the decade.

His impressive performance earned him a selection to the 1995 National League All-Star team, representing the Phillies among the league's top players. That recognition marked an important milestone in his career and highlighted his success in one of baseball's most demanding pitching roles.
Following the 1995 season, Slocumb joined the Boston Red Sox, where he continued working as a closer. He recorded 31 saves in 1996, giving him consecutive seasons with more than 30 saves.
Slocumb later pitched for the Seattle Mariners, Baltimore Orioles, and St. Louis Cardinals, continuing his career as an experienced bullpen contributor. Over his Major League career, he appeared in more than 500 games and recorded 98 saves, establishing himself as a recognizable relief pitcher of the 1990s.
