Overview

  • Snitker entered the team’s Hall of Fame as its 42nd member in a pregame ceremony Saturday at Truist Park before the Braves faced the Phillies.
  • Troy Snitker, the Mets’ hitting coach, surprised his father after a New York rainout enabled a last-minute flight from Citi Field to Atlanta.
  • A steady drizzle pushed the ceremony indoors, and fans watched on the center-field video board as Chipper Jones, Terry Pendleton, and Jeff Francoeur spoke.
  • Snitker’s Braves arc spans 50 years, including managing from 2016 to 2025 with an 811-668 record, a 2021 World Series title, and six straight NL East crowns.
  • He is now a senior adviser, and players credit his calm, consistent style for easing Walt Weiss’s step-up as the Braves opened 19-8 with a six-game NL East lead.
