Konnor Griffin Riding Nine-Game Hit Streak at Single-A
Konnor Griffin stayed hot over the weekend, going 4-for-9 with a double, four RBI, and two stolen bases between Saturday and Sunday's games for Single-A Bradenton. The Pirates' second-ranked prospect is now riding a nine-game hit streak and has pushed his season-long slash line to .324/.373/.547 with seven home runs and 17 stolen bases through only 33 games. In the 2024 first-rounder's first taste of professional ball this year, the strikeouts were a concern, logging a 29.9 percent K% through his first 25 games, however, that has gone down to 13.5 percent over his last eight games, so he looks to be settling in. The 6-foot-4 slugger will be at High-A sooner rather than later, and will find himself as the Pirates' top prospect by season's end after Bubba Chandler's eventual graduation; he should find himself within the top 25 in all of baseball as well.
