The Pittsburgh Pirates farm system continues to hit headlines as it remains one of the best in baseball. This week a pair of the team’s prospects made waves as Konnor Griffin and Edward Florentino were named Players of The Week in their respective leagues.
Griffin was called up to High-A Greensboro on June 10, and since his debut with the club against the Rome Emperors he has been dominating the South Atlantic League. Baseball’s 34th-ranked prospect has been lights out at the plate, hitting .407/.469/.778 with the Grasshoppers. He’s also added 2 homers and 6 stolen bags, bringing his season totals to 11 and 32.
