Clay Snellgrove is one of the Blue Raider baseball’s top hitters and defensive specialists and put up strong numbers that still rank among the best in program history during his four-year career from 1994-to-97. At the completion of his playing career, Clay ranked No. 1 on the all-time lists in six different categories: games played, hits, at-bats, singles, doubles and sacrifices, while also ranking in the Top 5 for RBI and total bases. He played during one of Middle Tennessee’s great runs on the diamond, winning the Ohio Valley Conference regular season each year from 1994-to-97. The Blue Raiders played in the 1995 NCAA Regional. Not only was Clay an exceptional hitter, but he also was an outstanding shortstop. Coaches touted Clay as the best Blue Raider shortstop in a long line of great ones. Following his career, Clay was drafted by the San Diego Padres.
