Carl Schneider, who has been with the Astros organization since 1989, became the Astros clubhouse manager in 2011. While with the Astros, Schneider has worked 16 Astros playoff runs, four All-Star Games (1998, 2003-04, 2018) and six World Series (2005, 2017, 2019, 2021-22).
In 2020, Schneider was named the winner of the Fred Hartman Long and Meritorious Service to Baseball Award, named by the Houston Chapter of the Baseball Writers Association of America.
Additionally, in 2017, Schneider was named the winner the Pete Sheehy Clubhouse Award (Clubhouse Manager of the Year), which is given out annually to a home and visiting clubhouse manager, and voted on by the MLB Clubhouse Manager’s Association.
Schneider, who is one of the longest-tenured employees in the organization, originally joined the Astros in 1989 as a bat boy and also handled clubhouse duties during the baseball season. He joined the home clubhouse staff full time in 1995 and would work in that role until assuming the clubhouse manager duties in 2011.
A Texas native, Schneider currently resides in Houston where he has enjoyed raising his sons Zachry and Max and daughters Amie and Madyson. Schneider’s oldest son, Zach, is currently a left-handed pitcher at Truman State University in Missouri.
