It was just over one year ago that the Pittsburgh Pirates made Konnor Griffin the ninth overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft, and the 19-year-old has responded in kind, turning in one of the best minor league seasons in recent memory and emerging as the top prospect in all of baseball.

The shortstop and outfielder is hitting an incredible .330/.415/.524 in 115 games this season, adding 19 home runs and a whopping 65 stolen bases to his stacked résumé. Add it all up, and he's been good for a 164 wRC+ in 2025.
