To the surprise of absolutely no one, Konnor Griffin captured the Pittsburgh Pirates' 2025 Honus Wagner Player of the Year award, given to the top overall prospect in the organization's farm system. But the accolades didn't end there.
Griffin swept both the Player of the Year and Defender of the Year awards in his first pro season after making just seven errors in 89 games at shortstop in 2025, winning a Minor League Gold Glove Award for his efforts as well. This doesn’t just highlight a breakout season; it underscores the rare, all-encompassing nature of his talent.
