While a switch-hitter earlier in his career, Snow has batted exclusively left-handed in recent years. After a two year injury-riddled stretch from 2002-2003 where his average was .246, Snow rebounded in 2004 with a .327 average, hitting .387 after the All-Star break (which ranked second only to Ichiro Suzuki in the major leagues).

The most well-known moment in Snow's career was probably in the 2002 World Series when Snow scored in Game 5 off a Kenny Lofton triple; then manager, Dusty Baker's 3-year-old son, Darren, who was the batboy ran to home plate to collect Lofton's bat before the play was completed and was quickly pulled off the field by Snow as he crossed home plate. Had Snow been a few steps slower and the play at home closer Darren could have been in serious danger. Following the incident, an age restriction was placed on Major League Baseball batboys.

Another memorable moment occurred in the 2000 National League Division Series against the New York Mets. With the Giants trailing 4-1 in the bottom of the ninth, Snow hit a three-run pinch homer against Mets reliever Armando Benitez. However, the Giants failed to capitalize on their momentum, eventually falling in the 10th inning and going on to lose the series. The Giants' loss of the game and series ultimately robbed Snow's dramatic feat of much of its lustre. The 2000 National League Division Series (NLDS), the opening round of the 2000 National League playoffs, began on Tuesday, October 3, and ended on Sunday, October 8, with the champions of the three NL divisions – along with a wild card team – participating in two best-of-five series. ...

Snow's tenure with the Giants effectively ended when the team declined to offer him salary arbitration before the 2006 season. He signed a one-year, two-million-dollar contract with the Boston Red Sox on January 6, 2006. The deal was perceived by many as a bargain rate for such an accomplished player. He served primarily in a platoon role with Kevin Youkilis at first base until he was designated for assignment June 19. He was officially "released" on June 27. In reality, JT Snow demanded the release.
