The Pittsburgh Pirates announced Thursday they are promoting 19-year-old shortstop Konnor Griffin, MLB's No. 1 overall prospect, for his major league debut in Friday's home opener against the Baltimore Orioles at PNC Park. Griffin, the No. 9 pick in the 2024 draft, slashed .333/.415/.527 with 21 home runs and 65 stolen bases across three minor league levels last season. The move addresses early struggles at shortstop for the 3-3 Pirates.
Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Konnor Griffin celebrated his 20th birthday with his first Major League home run on Friday night at American Family Field in Milwaukee. He smashed a Statcast-projected 386-foot drive to the opposite field off a middle-middle fastball from Brewers pitcher Brandon Woodruff. The milestone came in his 20th career game.
