The Atlanta Braves signed manager Brian Snitker to a contract extension through the 2023 season with a club option for 2024, the team announced Friday.
“I am thrilled that Brian will continue to lead our club on the field and in the clubhouse,” Braves president and general manager Alex Anthopoulos said in a statement. “Three consecutive division titles speak to the impact of Brian and his staff, and we are pleased that he will continue to guide our club through 2023.”
Snitker, 65, enters his 45th season with the organization and his sixth as the team’s manager. During his tenure, he’s compiled a 353-317 (.527) record, leading the Braves last season to their first playoff series win since 2001. They eventually lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Championship Series.
Snitker is the only manager in Braves history to lead the team to the postseason in three of his first four full seasons.
