Pirates Promote Top Prospect Konnor Griffin to High-A Greensboro

The Pittsburgh Pirates have promoted top prospect Konnor Griffin from Single-A Bradenton to High-A Greensboro after an outstanding 2025 season. Griffin, the No. 9 overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft, has excelled offensively with a .338 batting average, nine home runs, 26 stolen bases, and a .932 OPS, ranking among the best hitters in the Florida State League. His versatility is highlighted by his primary role at shortstop, with additional appearances as designated hitter and center fielder. Griffin recently hit his first professional inside-the-park home run, showcasing both power and speed, which scouts believe indicate his potential as a multi-tool player at the Major League level. At just 19 years old, he is ranked as the No. 2 prospect in the Pirates system and No. 34 overall in baseball. He will join a talented group of Pirates prospects at Greensboro, including catcher Omar Alfonzo and pitchers Carlson Reed and Khristian Curtis.
