Snider is a former first round pick of the Toronto Blue Jays, whom Baseball Prospectus once ranked the no. 5 prospect in MLB, and Baseball America listed as no. 6 overall (both in 2009). However, Snider has never been able to realize the early promise many scouts projected for him, and has settled into a career as a fourth outfielder.
The left-handed hitting Snider has batted .244/.311/.399 over his career with an OPS+ of 93 (7% below a league average hitter). He has good pop at the plate, with 54 home runs and has two seasons with more than 13 home runs (2010, 2014).
