[7] In his Royals debut, he threw a scoreless tenth inning and picked his first MLB win and strikeout, with 11 family members watching. [9] [10] [11] He was sent down to Triple-A in mid-June for two months, returning to the Royals on August 20. [12] Snider made 42 appearances for Kansas City in his rookie campaign, registering a 4–2 record and 6.55 ERA with 22 strikeouts in 34+1⁄3 innings pitched. [2]

Snider was optioned to Triple-A Omaha to begin the 2023 season. [13] He was called up to Kansas City for the first two weeks of July, pitching in five games, then rejoined the Royals near the end of August. In 30 games for the Royals in 2023, he had a 4.87 ERA with 11 strikeouts across 20+1⁄3 innings of work.

He was sent down to the Triple-A Tacoma Rainiers immediately after coming off the injured list later in April [18] but returned to the majors in early June.

[20] He also consistently threw first-pitch strikes, starting with a strike to 73 percent of batters faced, which ranked second among MLB pitchers who threw at least 40 innings in 2024 and is in the top 10 among single season performances since at least 2002.
