Nick Snyder moved through the Rangers organization faster than any other pitcher in 2021.  He started the year in Hickory (A+), was promoted to Frisco (AA) in June, promoted to Round Rock (AAA) in August, and then made his Rangers debut at the end of August.  Snyder was placed on the 10-day then 60-day injury list with should fatigue in September.

For his efforts, Snyder was selected as Minor League Reliever of the Year for the Texas organization.

If he is healthy, Snyder will likely start the year playing in either AAA or with Texas.
