Pittsburgh Pirates Top Prospects for 2026

1. Konnor Griffin, SS, 19, 6’3”/222, AA

After reclassifying to be part of the 2024 MLB Draft, Griffin wound up being selected ninth overall by the Pirates. Turning 19 in April last season, Griffin dominated his way to Double-A by season’s end, turning in one of the best seasons in the minors. Griffin slashed .333/.415/.527 and got better as the season went on. He hit 21 home runs and scored an insane 117 runs. He stole 65 bases in the process.

Already having a well-filled-out frame, Griffin stands at 6’4”/222, but despite filling out his frame, he is still a 70-grade runner. Not only that, but Griffin has a strong glove in the field.

At the plate, Griffin put up some pretty absurd underlying data. He made contact on 85 percent of his swings on pitches in the zone and a 74 percent overall mark. While many panicked about the high chase rate at the beginning of the season, which was never an issue, Griffin wound up with a 25 percent chase rate for the season.

The power is off the charts, as Griffin ran a 108 mph 90th percentile exit velocity. It was one of the highest marks among all minor league hitters, but one of the top among players of his age.

So, we are talking about potential 70-grade power and speed to pair with a solid hit tool. Is Griffin the best prospect we have seen in years? He might just be.
