Pirates Call Up Prospect Griffin, Debut Friday
Description
Pirates Fans Excited: Teen Sensation Konnor Griffin Joins MLB Ranks
The Pittsburgh Pirates are making headlines as they call up their top prospect, nineteen-year-old shortstop Konnor Griffin, for their home opener this Friday. The team is currently at a 3-3 record, with new signings Brandon Lowe and Ryan OHearn already making an impact with five home runs and ten RBIs combined. Cy Young winner Paul Skenes also bounced back in his last outing. Griffins arrival comes at an opportune time, as everyday shortstop Jared Triolo has struggled early in the season. Griffin impressed in Triple-A Indianapolis, hitting .438 with three doubles, five walks, and only four strikeouts. He will become the first teenager to debut in the majors since Juan Soto in 2018. All eyes are on PNC Park this Friday at 4:12 PM Eastern when the Pirates host the Orioles.
