The 19-year-old Griffin possesses some very fantasy-friendly attributes, but it will likely be a couple of years before managers can reap the rewards. |

Mon May 19 | 23:41 | Konnor Griffin Riding Nine-Game Hit Streak at Single-A |
Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop prospect Konnor Griffin stayed hot over the weekend, going 4-for-9 with a double, four RBI, and two stolen bases between Saturday and Sunday's games for Single-A Bradenton. The Pirates' second-ranked prospect is now riding a nine-game hit streak and has pushed his season-long slash line to .324/.373/.547 with seven home runs and 17 stolen bases through only 33 games. In the 2024 first-rounder's first taste of professional ball this year, the strikeouts were a concern, logging a 29.9 percent K% through his first 25 games, however, that has gone down to 13.5 percent over his last eight games, so he looks to be settling in. The 6-foot-4 slugger will be at High-A sooner rather than later, and will find himself as the Pirates' top prospect by season's end after Bubba Chandler's eventual graduation; he should find himself within the top 25 in all of baseball as well. |

Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop prospect Konnor Griffin went 3-for-4 on Wednesday with an RBI, two runs scored, and two steals for Single-A Bradenton.

The Pirates' second-ranked prospect (MLB No. 37) looks like a potential multi-category producer and could fly through the organization. MLB.com gives him an ETA of 2028, but with his tools, it wouldn't be a surprise to see him arrive sooner, and the 6-foot-4 sluggershould be all over dynasty managers' radar. |

Wed Apr 30 | 23:43 | Konnor Griffin Heating Up At Single-A |
Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop prospect Konnor Griffin went 2-for-5 on Wednesday for Single-A Bradenton, with a solo home run and two runs scored. It was the third multi-hit game in his last four contests, going 8-for-18 (.444) with three doubles, two home runs, and a stolen base over that stretch. The hot streak pushed his season-long slash line to .265/.333/.518 with five home runs and 11 steals. The ninth-overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft is getting his first taste of professionalbaseball this season and performing well, although if there's one thing to criticize, it is that the former first-rounder has struck out at least once in seven consecutive games and owns a 29.7 percent strikeout rate on the year. Nevertheless, Pittsburgh's second-ranked prospect (MLB No. 40) is just 19 years old, so there's plentyof time to make improvements. With five-category potential, dynasty managers shouldbe keeping a very close eye on him, and the 6-foot-4 slugger could easily find himself comfortably within the top 25 prospects in all of baseball by season's end. |
