Jack Thomas "J. T." Snow, Jr. (born February 26, 1968) is a former Major League Baseball player. He played all but two games in his career as a first baseman, and played nine of his 13½ seasons with the San Francisco Giants. He was known for his exceptional defense, even though he was a very poor defender according to most advanced defensive metrics. After his retirement as a player, Snow worked in radio and television broadcasting. He is now a special assistant to the general manager for the Giants.
Snow is the son of former NFL Los Angeles Rams Pro Bowl wide receiver Jack Snow and Merry Carole Shane, who died in 1998 from thyroid cancer. He has two sisters, Michelle and Stephanie.
Snow attended Los Alamitos High School in Los Alamitos, California and played baseball and football and basketball with future teammate Robb Nen.
After high school, Snow played three seasons at the University of Arizona, where his teammates included Scott Erickson, Trevor Hoffman and Kevin Long.
Snow was drafted by the New York Yankees in the fifth round of the 1989 baseball amateur draft. He broke into the Majors with the Yankees at the end of the 1992 season.
Traded to the California Angels that year as part of the Jim Abbott deal, Snow played for them from 1993 to 1996 where he won his first two of what would be six career Gold Gloves.
