Konnor Griffin to Make Pirates Opening Day Roster?
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Colin Beazley and Noah Hiles both included Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop prospect Konnor Griffin on their projected Opening Day roster. Nothing is official from the Pirates. Kriffin has so far gone 5-for-24 (.208) with three home runs, eight RBI, three runs scored, no walks, and six strikeouts in 26 plate appearances over nine Grapefruit League games in spring training. The 19-year-old phenom has looked the part and is mature beyond his years, not to mention all of the physical skills he has on defense and at the plate. In his first minor-league season in 2025, Griffin spent time at three different levels and hit a combined .333/.415/.527 with a .941 OPS, 21 home runs, 94 RBI, 117 runs scored, and 65 stolen bases in 122 games. There isn't anything he can't do on the diamond. The only question now is whether the Bucs feel he needs a tad bit more seasoning before being given the starting duties at the 6 in the Show. Either way, Griffin is going to make a potentially big impact in all fantasy leagues in 2026.
