Player Outlook
Konnor Griffin, the consensus top prep position player from the 2024 draft, has four loud tools, while his hit tool is more of a question mark. A 6-foot-4, 215-pound righty hitter who plays a good shortstop and an even better center field, Griffin has 70-grade speed, a 70-grade arm and plus power that could tick up even more at his physical peak. He turns 19 in April, so he's on the younger side for his class, and most sluggers who are as tall and as young as Griffin come with some hit tool risk. Projecting prep hit tools is one of the toughest tasks for amateur scouts, so there's not going to be much clarity on whether that's a clear weakness or a non-issue until the Mississippi high schooler gets to full-season ball. He didn't play after getting selected ninth overall by the Pirates and should get assigned to Single-A to begin the year. Griffin has a very high ceiling as a 30/30 candidate whose defensive utility should keep him in the lineup every day.

Alex Stumpf@AlexJStumpf6H agoTalked with Paul Skenes for a bit after his start Saturday and asked if he feels the expectations of being the face of the Pirates. The answer wasn't a "yes" or a "no." It was a peek into what drives a 22-year-old with seemingly infinite potential. https://t.co/7zhnRSxT15

Jason Mackey@JMackeyPG6D ago“It would be quite the story, right?” ... I'm not sure of an appropriate parallel for Andrew McCutchen possibly helping the Pirates back to the playoffs in two separate eras. But I am fascinated by the idea and what it would mean for his legacy: https://t.co/dyVanDTxBg
