Second on the franchise list for starts by a catcher with 505, Chris Snyder was a home-grown product, being a second-round pick by the Diamondbacks in 2002. He moved quickly through our farm system, making his major-league debut only a couple of years later, in August 2004. At the age of 23, he was then the youngest catcher to play for Arizona. He became the regular starter at the position the following year, and outside of 2006, when Snyder was the back-up to Johnny Estrada, was the main incumbent at the position through June 2009.
