Pittsburgh Pirates Call Up Top Prospect Konnor Griffin for Home Opener
The Pittsburgh Pirates are making waves in the 2026 season, boasting a 3-3 record and calling up their top prospect, Konnor Griffin, to start at shortstop for their home opener at PNC Park. Griffin, ranked the number one prospect in baseball, had an impressive debut last year, hitting 21 homers and driving in 94 runs across A, High-A, and Double-A leagues. Despite initial controversy, the Pirates have now promoted him after just five Triple-A games. Theres already talk of a long-term extension, and if he stays with the team, the Pirates will secure an extra draft pick. The team recently split a series with the Mets and Reds, preparing to face the Orioles, with ace Paul Skenes excited for Griffins debut.
