Jack Snyder

Jack Snyder, born in 1886, was a professional baseball player who made a brief but notable appearance in Major League Baseball during the 1917 season. His career spanned from April 11 to October 4, 1917, a time marked by the tail end of the deadball era, where pitching dominated the game and offensive statistics were often lower than in later decades. Snyder played primarily as a position player, participating in a total of 7 games during his short stint in the league. Throughout his career, Snyder recorded 3 hits in 11 at-bats, resulting in a respectable batting average of .273. He contributed 1 run batted in (RBI) to his team's efforts, although he did not hit any home runs or steal bases. Despite the limited number of games, Snyder's performance reflected the challenges and dynamics of a competitive baseball landscape. His time in the majors, though fleeting, remains a part of the rich tapestry of early 20th-century baseball history.
