Ultra-projectable, 6-foot-4, 185 pounder. Simple mover w athletic inward turn lift & he uncoils to square with a rotational lower-half. The arm works loose & clean to a 3/4 slot with some sling to the arm action. The slot & present arm speed help to create big arm-side sink on a 85-87 fastball, and his tight (2400+) mid-70s slider pairs well with it. There is a 78-80 mph splitter shown, but it is behind the other two pitches. The frame and arm talent/action are traits to bet on with an advanced two-pitch mix that plays well together.

Snider is a projectable righty that we have seen up to 87, though he pitched at 80-84 at the State Games with the fastball showing sinker properties. The sinker tunneled well with his best offering, his low-70s slider, a pitch that spun into the 2500s and shows out-pitch upside.

Griffin Snider, Noblesville High School (IN), 2027 Positional Profile: RHP/OF Body: 6-3, 180-pounds. Lean, athletic build. Strong projectability. Delivery: Controlled tempo with a shorter, compact cross body leg lift keeping the balance point in a comfortable, lower point. Shoulders work slightly uphill down the slope with strong separation. Stride achieves abv/avg distance down the slope leading to extention in release. Consistently lands square. Arm Action: RH. Longer, whippy arm action from an over the top slot. FB: T84, 80-83 mph. Straight FB, minimal movement. T2231, 2044 average rpm. CB: 68-71 mph. Big movement w/ strong spin properties. T2391, 2312 average rpm. SL: 68-70 mph. Developed movement profile. Straight glove-side sweep on a relatively even plane. Besty pitch. T2401, 2229 average rpm.

'27 RHP Griffin Snider (Noblesville) offered a high-upside look as one of the most talented arms we have identified in the 2027 class. An athletic, projectable, 6-foot-3, 180 pounder - Snider showed off a fast arm that worked with quickness to a 3/4 arm slot, and a simple, cross-strided delivery. His fastball worked at 85-86, touching 86.9 mph, and shows sinker properties. Snider paired his sinking fastball with a tightly-spun (2500), 71-72 mph slider with some late bite. The slider looks the part of a future-out pitch and he also showed a firmer splitter at 80-81 mph. Snider is ultra-projectable and has the frame and stuff to be a high-level follow in the freshman class.
