Top Prospect Konnor Griffin Homers Again for Pirates in Spring Training
Griffin, the Pirates' 19-year-old top prospect, has hit three home runs in spring training, including a two-run homer off Cardinals' pitcher Kyle Leahy.
- On Mar 1, 2026, Konnor Griffin homered for the third time this spring with a two-run shot off Kyle Leahy at Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium, giving the Pittsburgh Pirates a 2-0 lead.
- A first-round pick in 2024, Griffin reached Double-A last year and hit.337 with a.960 OPS in 21 games, plus 21 home runs across three minor-league levels in 2025.
- On the swing, Griffin hit an 84.1 mph sweeper 107.8 mph off the bat for a 408-foot homer and earlier homered twice against Boston plus nearly at BayCare Ballpark.
- MLB Pipeline noted that as Griffin continues making adjustments, analysts say his improvement could accelerate his path to the majors and bolster his long-term power outlook.
- Standing 6-foot-4 and 225 pounds with 65 steals in 2025 and an inside-the-park homer on June 7, Griffin pairs power and speed and has produced hard-hit outs this spring.
