Atlanta Braves Make Brian Snitker Decision Before MLB Season

The Atlanta Braves are preparing for the 2026 season while also honoring one of the most important figures in franchise history. As the organization turns the page into a new era with Walt Weiss at the helm, it continues to recognize the legacy of longtime former manager Brian Snitker. Snitker, who stepped down after the 2025 season following a decade as the Braves skipper, will remain with the organization in an advisory role.

His impact on the franchise is undeniable, helping guide Atlanta through a sustained run of success that included multiple postseason appearances and a World Series championship. That legacy will officially be cemented this season. Entering his 50th year with the organization, the Braves have made a major decision regarding Snitker’s place in team history.

The club announced that Snitker will be inducted into the Braves Hall of Fame on April 25 when Atlanta hosts the Philadelphia Phillies at Truist Park (h/t Gabe Burns of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution).

Snitker took over as interim manager in 2016 before earning the full‑time role in 2017, eventually compiling a . 548 winning percentage while leading the Braves to the postseason seven times. His crowning achievement came in 2021, when he guided Atlanta to its first World Series title since 1995.
