Show Notes
Nineteen-year-old Konnor Griffin, the Pittsburgh Pirates top prospect, is making a strong case for the Opening Day roster at shortstop. Drafted ninth overall in 2024, Griffin impressed in the minors last year with twenty-one home runs, sixty-five stolen bases, and a Gold Glove award. This spring training, he leads the team with four homers, a feat no teenager has matched in over twenty years. Despite a low batting average, Griffins rare maturity and all-around talent have the Pirates dreaming big for a playoff run this season. The team must decide whether to start him in the majors or send him to Triple-A for more seasoning, with contract extension talks potentially influencing the decision.
