Be Patient and Finish Right #TakeBackTX
From Scott Lucas today:
The guys who follow our minor leaguers closely really love Nick Snyder. He is a relief pitcher at Frisco.
"Nick Snyder gave up a run in his first AA outing. In the six since: 25 batters, 13 strikeouts, no walks, four singles. Snyder was Texas's 19th-round pick in 2017 and spent two seasons in rookie ball despite being 21 when drafted. He pitched well in low-A in 2019 in relief, but after Tommy John surgery in March 2020, he was omitted from the 40-man roster and passed through the Rule 5 draft unclaimed. Upon his return, Snyder's velocity has improved from the mid to high 90s, hitting triple digits on occasions, and the slider is angrier. He's going to pitch in the Majors, perhaps in 2021."
