Konnor Griffin Impresses In Pirates Spring Debut
Sunday was an opportunity for 2024 Pittsburgh Pirates first round pick, Konnor Griffin, to capture the sights and sounds of his very first big league spring training camp.
It didn’t take long for Griffin to make a great, first impression, as he delivered an opposite field, go-ahead, RBI single in the seventh inning off Minnesota Twins reliever Travis Adams.
Griffin has Grade 70 speed, and used his terrific, wheels, to go from first base to third base, on a ball hit to right field.
Another Pirates first rounder, Termarr Johnson, drove in Griffin, which at the time gave Pittsburgh a 4-1 lead.
Entering 2025, Griffin was rated the second best Pirates prospect by several baseball publications. Most scouts have raved about Griffin’s advanced approach at the plate for a teenager.
It’s likely Griffin could begin his pro career at the Low A level with the Bradenton Marauders.
