"Konnor Griffin will be the first teenaged position player in an MLB game since Juan Soto in 2018, and the first in a game within his team's first seven games of a season since Adrian Beltre in 1999."
"Across the three levels he at which he played, Griffin posted a .942 OPS through 122 games with 21 home runs and 94 RBIs."
"The Pirates have already engaged in contract negotiations with Griffin ahead of his debut, with both sides' valuations sitting well into nine digits."
"An active offseason made the Pirates an interesting case, adding All-Stars Ryan O'Hearn and Marcell Ozuna to enhance their lineup."
Konnor Griffin has been called up by the Pittsburgh Pirates ahead of a home stand. After a strong spring training and impressive start in Triple-A, he will be the first teenager to play in MLB since 2018. Griffin's debut marks a significant milestone as he is also the first teenager to play in a team's first seven games since 1999. The Pirates are negotiating a contract with Griffin, who had a successful 2025 season, and are looking to improve their performance in the NL Central.
