Konnor Griffin is going to the show.
The Pittsburgh Pirates announced on their social media account that Griffin, the league’s number one prospect, will be making his debut on Friday when the team hosts the Baltimore Orioles.
Griffin was a strong candidate to make the team out of spring training, but the Pirates opted against it; however, the organization could not keep the 19-year-old shortstop down for long. Griffin was chosen with the number nine overall
pick in the 2024 MLB Draft out of high school, and he has tore his way through the minor leagues in his brief time as a professional. In five games with AAA-Indianapolis this season, he has seven hits in 16 at-bats, proving that he belongs with the big league club.
BD Community, what do you think of Griffin’s promotion? How excited are you to see him with the Bucs? Chime in the comment section below.
