Snyder's best season came in 1987 with the Indians when he hit 33 home runs, and had 82 Runs Batted In. Snyder's overall career numbers were hurt due to injuries.

Snyder was a three-time All-American for Brigham Young University, and also a member of the 1983 BYU team (which was ranked No. 1). In his very first game with BYU, during his first three at-bats, he hit three home runs on three consecutive pitches.

In 1984, Snyder was on the first Olympic Baseball team for the United States, which earned a Silver Medal.
