Konnor Griffin Heating Up At Single-A
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 professional baseball 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 plenty of time to make improvements. With five-category potential, dynasty managers should be 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.
