Trey
Snyder

Holding onto the top spot on our board, INF Trey Snyder (Liberty North; Tennessee commit) continues to prove why he’s an upper-tier prospect in the Midwest for the 2024 class. Snyder helped lead Liberty North to a state championship in the spring, piggybacking off that positive momentum by impressing on the summer circuit, most notably at Creekside and Area Codes. He’s highly athletic at the plate with bat speed, pitch adaptability, and advanced feel to hit for his age. That translates to the field, where his actions and foot speed have him pegged to stick on the infield dirt down the road.

Snyder, who’s the top-ranked player in Missouri’s 2024 class, put his high-end athleticism on display throughout the weekend. At 6-foot-2, 182-pounds, Snyder’s most impressive athlete this weekend was his glove, as he routinely showed advanced up-the-middle actions at shortstop for the Royals Scout Team. That aforementioned athleticism translated to the box, as the Tennessee commit showed bat speed from the right side while getting off several healthy hacks throughout the weekend. A staple for Liberty North’s state championship team, Snyder slots inside the top-60 prospects nationally for the 2024 class.
