Konnor Griffin

19-Year-Old ShortstopSS
Pittsburgh Pirates A
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Griffin, the consensus top prep position player from the 2024 draft, has four loud tools, while his hit tool is more of a question mark. A 6-foot-4, 215-pound righty hitter who plays a good shortstop and an even better center field, Griffin has 70-grade speed, a 70-grade arm and plus power that could tick up even more at his physical peak. He turns 19 in April, so he's on the younger side for his class, and most sluggers who are as tall and as young as Griffin come with some hit tool risk. Projecting prep hit tools is one of the toughest tasks for amateur scouts, so there's not going to be much clarity on whether that's a clear weakness or a non-issue until the Mississippi high schooler gets to full-season ball. He didn't play after getting selected ninth overall by the Pirates and should get assigned to Single-A to begin the year. Griffin has a very high ceiling as a 30/30 candidate whose defensive utility should keep him in the lineup every day. Read Past Outlooks

Power, speed at Single-A
SSPittsburgh Pirates  A
May 6, 2025
Griffin is hitting .253 with five home runs, 11 steals, a 5.6 percent walk rate and a 30.8 percent strikeout rate in 23 games for Single-A Bradenton.
ANALYSIS
A premium 6-foot-4, 225-pound athlete who has started 15 games at shortstop and four games in center field so far this season, Griffin has essentially performed up to expectations, showcasing plus power, plus-plus speed and a hit tool that needs some work. While his 0.18 BB/K is far from ideal and he's got seven strikeouts in his last four games, Griffin's strengths have overshadowed his weaknesses in the early going.
