"Griffin is the best prospect baseball has seen in years. He is a plus-plus runner with a plus-plus arm and has gone from possibly average defensively to an above-average defensive shortstop."
"Griffin literally has all of the tools, size and pedigree to be a superstar. The list of players with these tools and this prospect ranking to debut at this age is filled with stars and Hall of Famers."
"Griffin's combination of bat speed and performance at this age also reminds some of Ronald Acuna Jr., who debuted in the big leagues just after turning 20 years old."
Konnor Griffin is set to debut for the Pittsburgh Pirates as a 19-year-old shortstop, becoming MLB's first teenage position player since 2018.
