Snodgrass enters his second season with the Ducks and seventh in professional baseball. He returns to Long Island after making 14 starts with the Ducks in 2016. He compiled a 6-6 record with a 3.79 ERA and 85 strikeouts in 78 and one-third innings of work. 10 of his 14 outings were quality starts, including a 12-strikeout performance on May 11 against Somerset, the single game season-high for a Ducks pitcher. The Kentucky native’s contract was purchased by the Texas Rangers organization on July 8, and he went on to post a 3-2 record with a 4.76 ERA and 39 strikeouts in 10 games (eight starts) combined between Double-A Frisco and Triple-A Round Rock.

The 29-year-old spent the first five seasons of his career in the San Francisco Giants organization, reaching as high as Triple-A Sacramento in 2015. In 2013, he was named a Mid-Season and Post-Season All-Star in the Eastern League after going 12-4 with a 3.70 ERA in 25 starts for Double-A Richmond. The Austin Peay State alum also earned Mid-Season All-Star honors in 2014 with Richmond and 2012 with Advanced-A San Jose. Snodgrass was originally drafted by the Giants in the 27th round of the 2011 amateur draft.
