Head Baseball Coach Dave Snell’s son makes it to the majors!

While Shoreline’s baseball team’s Head Coach, Dave Snell, was traveling with the Phins this past weekend for a tournament in Canada, his son Blake was pitching against the Yankees in his majors debut.

Blake, who graduated Shorewood High School in 2012, plays for the Tampa Bay Rays’ Triple-A team. He was called up to play in the majors on Saturday for one start to fill a hole in the Rays’ pitching rotation. Touted as one of the league’s top pitching prospects, Snell permitted only one run and two hits while striking out six and walking one.

Congrats to the Snell family!

You can read more about Blake’s debut in this article from The Herald, which also mentions the college. Blake’s story was all over the MLB network this weekend, and the City of Shoreline, Shorewood High School, and Shoreline Community College were all mentioned throughout the MLB’s reporting.
