Pirates Select Konnor Griffin With Ninth Overall Pick
4 months agoThe Pittsburgh Pirates selected shortstop/outfielder Konnor Griffin out of Jackson Prep with the ninth overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft. Griffin was the Gatorade National Player of the Year, possessing solid hit and power tools from the right side of the plate. His six-foot-four-inch frame gives him a long swing that might need to be compacted, but that shouldn't be a problem as he has "electric bat speed." The 18-year-old has 30-homer potential.
