NLDS 2026: Blake Snell Eyeing Hall Of Fame With Postseason Starts

Blake Snell is preparing to start Game 2 of the 2026 National League Division Series for the Los Angeles Dodgers against the Atlanta Braves. The 33-year-old left-hander expressed that postseason success and championship victories are critical for cementing a Hall of Fame legacy, stating that legendary status is earned in October.

Snell pitched through shoulder fatigue during the 2025 playoffs, posting a 3.18 ERA across six appearances before struggling in the World Series. Now fully healthy after having loose bodies removed from his elbow, Snell reported strong command following a recent bye-week live throwing session.
