"Griffin is the top prospect in baseball by a mile. And I almost put him in the 70 FV tier, which is the highest I'll put any hypothetical prospect, as that means I expect him to be on MVP ballots with 5-plus WAR seasons every year."
"Friday is when the focus on Griffin's big league potential starts to become reality. And though it's unrealistic to expect him to immediately hit the ground running with superstar-level play, he's not the first prospect of his stature to arrive in the majors to serious hype."
Konnor Griffin, the top MLB prospect, will make his debut for the Pittsburgh Pirates at 19, becoming the first teenager to play for the team since 1998. He is expected to have a significant impact, with projections suggesting he could be an MVP candidate. Griffin is finalizing a nine-year, $140 million contract, making him the first teenager in MLB history to receive a $100 million deal. His debut follows a trend of highly anticipated player introductions in recent years.
