James Cory Snyder (born November 11, 1962) is an American former professional baseball right fielder. He played nine seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) from 1986 to 1994 for the Cleveland Indians, Chicago White Sox, Toronto Blue Jays, San Francisco Giants, and Los Angeles Dodgers. He was well known for his powerful throwing arm and home run power. Snyder's overall career numbers were hurt due to injuries.[1][failed verification]
Snyder was a three-time All-American for Brigham Young University, and also a member of the 1983 BYU team (which at one point in the season was ranked No. 1). In his very first game with BYU, during his first three at-bats, he hit three home runs on three consecutive pitches.
In 1984, Snyder was on the first Olympic Baseball team for the United States, which earned a Silver Medal.
Snyder managed the Golden Baseball League's St. George Roadrunners from 2007 to 2009. In 2010, he managed the Na Koa Ikaika Maui, who play in the North American League.[2]
Snyder served as a coach for the Tacoma Rainiers, a Triple-A affiliate of the Seattle Mariners, in the early 2010s.[3]
Snyder managed the Chinatrust Brothers baseball team of the CPBL (Chinese Professional Baseball League) for two seasons (2017–18). Before coming to Taiwan, he managed Pericos de Puebla in the Mexican League, leading the team to their first LMB championship in 30 years as they defeated the Tijuana Toros 4 games to 2 in the Series of the Kings for the 2016 LMB title. He is only the fourth American manager to win Mexico's highest professional level baseball championship.
