Description
Nineteen-year-old shortstop Konnor Griffin makes his MLB debut with the Pittsburgh Pirates, becoming the youngest position player to reach the majors since Juan Soto. Drafted ninth overall in 2021, Griffin impressed in the minors, hitting 21 homers, driving in 94 runs, and stealing 65 bases. Despite struggling in spring training, he quickly adjusted and hit .380 in his last few Triple-A games. Griffin, who married his high school sweetheart and has a strong family support system, is joining a stacked Pirates team and is ready to contribute immediately.
