Brian Gerald Snitker, head coach of the Atlanta Brave, has just been suspended after a secret about him was unveiled.

After more than 40 years of service with the Atlanta Braves, Brian Snitker was promoted to MLB manager of a rebuilding team in 2016. I knew how the business operated, so I wasn’t surprised by Snitker’s rapid success.

Snitker was added by the Braves at the beginning of the 2016 season. Atlanta outperformed them with a 59-65 record in his 124 games with the team. The next season, in 2017, the Braves finished 72-90, which was another wise decision. From 2018 until the present, Snit has led the Atlanta Braves to six straight National League East Division championships.

In 2021, Snitker, then 64 years old, captured his first World Series title. According to David O’Brien, Alex Anthopoluos thinks Brian Snitker will lead the Atlanta squad by 2024, when the 2023 season comes to an end.

For most individuals, this should go without saying, though it may surprise some. Snitker is a person who grew up playing baseball “old school.” Players are supposed to ignore analytics, run out ground balls with their heads down, and maintain their emotionlessness even in critical times when using that method.

Snitker, 67, has seen the change in the game firsthand. He’s come clean and said he needs to adjust to this. With a team full of young talent, Brian Snitker has guided the Braves to great success. He’s done an amazing job adjusting to Major League Baseball in the modern era.

Brian Snitker signed a contract extension with the Atlanta Braves in January of this year, extending his stay with the team through the 2025 season. There are those who hold Snitker accountable for the Braves’ early postseason exit following a 104-win regular season. Alex Anthopoulos does not see things that way, so going forward, he is putting his trust in Snitker.

Snitker is getting close to seventy years old, so it’s about time to think about retiring. It’s clear that he has a passion for baseball, especially the Atlanta Braves, as seen by his almost 40-year commitment to the franchise. But ultimately, he’ll feel as though his mission has been accomplished. It appears that won’t be the case after 2023.
