When the Pittsburgh Pirates selected prep pitcher Seth Hernandez at No. 6 overall in the 2025 MLB Draft on Sunday, the right-hander received a special welcome message from the organization's last top pick.
Konnor Griffin, the Pirates' first-round pick in the 2025 MLB Draft (No. 9) and their current No. 2 prospect according to MLB Pipeline, took to social media to congratulate Hernandez on his selection and welcome him to Pittsburgh.
"Let's Go," Griffin posted Sunday on X in response to Hernandez's selection. "Welcome to a great organization!"
But what should have been an innocuous, seven-word message from one first-round pick to another quickly turned into a cringe-worthy commentary on how the Pirates are, in many ways, decidedly not a "great organization.
