Esix Snead (born June 7, 1976 in Fort Myers, Florida) is a former Major League Baseball outfielder for the New York Mets (2002, 2004). Snead was known for his speed, with 507 stolen bases in only 9 minor league seasons, but only four in two brief appearances with the New York Mets.
Snead attended the University of Central Florida, playing both baseball and football, and was drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals in the 18th round of the 1998 Major League Baseball Draft. Throughout his entire career, Snead hit for a low batting average, but still stole high numbers of bases. In 1998 with the Low-A New Jersey Cardinals, he hit .233 and stole 42 bases in 58 games. With the Single-A Peoria Chiefs and High-A Potomac Cannons in 1999, he hit under the Mendoza Line, but stole 64 bases in 126 games. 2000 was Snead's career year. Playing for the Cannons again, he led all minor leaguers [1] and stole a Carolina League record 109 bases, breaking Lenny Dykstra's record, and made the All-Star game. In 2001, his final season in the Cardinals' organization, he played for Double-A New Haven. On November 20, 2001, he was claimed off waivers by the New York Mets.
