Snyder

The 5-foot-10, 205-pound catcher is a strong defensive backstop who can swing it. He hit .400 for his high school team in 2012. Snyder will be attending the Pre-Season All-State Showcase in February.

2/23/13 Snyder has prototypical size for the position at 5-foot-10, 205-pounds. His 90 mph bat exit velocity was second to Porterfield among the catchers. Snyder showed pop times of 1.97-2.06 on throws of 77 mph out of the crouch. Offensively he uses a toe tap trigger and a compact swing to generate significant pop in his bat. Snyder routinely drove baseballs back up the middle in a quality round of batting practice. To round out his skill set, Snyder showed excellent foot speed for a catcher turning in a 4.13 home-to-first time.
