Formerly ranked No. 41 in the Illinois 2021 class. Projectable right-hander with an athletic, starter-type delivery. Works on-line and down the hill with balance and a soft landing. Clean and fluid arm action that produces a fastball up to 87 mph, looks to be much more in the tank. Best pitch was an average changeup; a little firm at 81-83 mph, but showed above-average feel for the pitch with fastball arm speed, easy to project as plus pitch down the road with spin rates in the 1,700-1,800 RPM range. His breaking ball sat 73-75 mph but showed feel and was around the zone with the pitch. "Despite showing below average fastball velocity, Snider was one of my favorite Cobra arms on this day thanks to his upside and a bright future" - David Seifert.
