The Toronto Blue Jays kind of have a thing for contact-oriented infielders.
Back at the 2022 MLB Draft, the Jays selected Josh Kasevich in the second round. With their second pick (third-rounder) in the 2026 MLB Draft, the Blue Jays selected Ryan Cooney. Both players rank on our mid-season update.
One of the less heralded contact-oriented infielders in the system is Eric Snow, selected in the sixth round of the 2025 MLB Draft. Despite that, Snow is one of the fastest-rising position players in the Blue Jays’ farm system in 2026. If you missed our 39th-ranked prospect, we looked at another utility infielder, Nick Goodwin.
Let’s get to know the infielder!

Eric Snow

Position: Infielder
Bats: Right
Born: March 10th, 2004
Acquired: Sixth round, 2025 MLB draft
Previous ranking: N/A
Snow spent his first two collegiate seasons with South Florida, before transferring to Auburn for the 2025 season, his draft year. Over 57 games, the infielder slashed .307/.403/.493 with eight home runs in 253 plate appearances.  He also featured a low K% of 10.3%, something that has translated well as a professional as well.
The 22-year-old’s strong 2025 led to the Blue Jays selecting him 172th overall. Following the draft, he slashed just .237/.308/.301 with no home runs in 104 plate appearances with the Single-A Dunedin Blue Jays.
Unsurprisingly, he repeated the level to begin the 2026 season, slashing .285/.386/.361 with a home run in 182 plate appearances for a 100 wRC+. Snow’s K% of 17% is the highest he’s had at any level, though he also had a 11.5 BB%.
The infielder earned a promotion to the High-A Vancouver Canadians, where he proceeded to slash .306/.371/.422 with three home runs, along with a higher BB% (10.2%) than K% (9%). Snow’s tenure with Canada’s lone minor league team was a short one, as he was promoted to Double-A after just 167 plate appearances, or 37 games.
His trip to Manchester, New Hampshire hasn’t been great, as he’s slashing just .222/.275/.317 with a home run in 69 plate appearances since joining the Fisher Cats. Snow’s K% has also jumped back up to 15.9%, while his BB% has plummeted to 7.2%, the worst at any level. It’s not unexpected, as the jump from High-A to Double-A is one of the most difficult in the minor leagues.
Snow is the type of player you’d expect to be in the Blue Jays organization. There isn’t a lot of pop in his bat, though he did have a maximum exit velocity of 109.1 mph in Single-A earlier this season. Instead, he relies on making contact, posting great whiff percentages and showcasing good bat-to-ball skills.
The 22-year-old is also a strong defender, capable of playing second base, third base, and shortstop. He profiles best as a utility infielder, similar to both Kasevich and Cooney. Expect Snow to finish the season in Double-A and likely start the 2027 season there as well.
