Snitker, 67, has a 542-451 record. He recorded his 500th career win in July 2022 and was the fifth manager in franchise history to obtain this milestone. In addition to his many wins, he has also led the Braves to the postseason five times in his first six seasons.
The skipper’s extension is much deserved, and Braves Country is lucky to have such a successful manager.
