After striking out a dozen times in his first 21 at-bats to begin the season, the Pirates’ Konnor Griffin has been on a tear. Over the 14 games since April 10, Griffin is hitting .290/.323/.629 with five home runs and seven stolen bases. On Wednesday, Griffin went 2-for-5 with a home run, as he continues to show off impressive raw power in games. Griffin stands along for his speed and power combination and is among the Statcast leaders in the Florida State League. The Pirates second-ranked prospect is quickly developing into one of the most exciting prospects in the minors.
