Konnor Griffin Named Minor-League Player of the Year
Konnor Griffin earned Baseball America's Minor League Player of the Year honors after a meteoric rise to the top of the prospect ranks. The 2024 first-rounder was the Pirates' second-ranked prospect in May of this year and No. 37 overall, but by August he was the new No. 1 overall prospect in baseball. The 19-year-old's season began at Single-A but finished at Double-A, slashing .333/.415/.527 with 21 home runs and 50 stolen bases across all three levels. It would seem that he's ready for a test a Triple-A next season, although given his age, he may not see the majors until late in the year or even 2027. Regardless, the 6-foot-4 slugger needs to be stashed away in dynasty leagues if not already rostered.
