Pirates Prospect Konnor Griffin Goes Deep Twice, Including a Shot Off Red Sox Newcomer Ranger Suarez
Konnor Griffin, the Pirates' top prospect, hit two home runs and drove in four runs during a 16-7 spring training win over the Red Sox.
- On Tuesday in Fort Myers, Fla., Konnor Griffin, a 19-year-old Pittsburgh Pirates prospect, hit two homers, including one off Red Sox newcomer Ranger Suarez.
- Coming off a season that accelerated his rise, Griffin is considered baseball's top prospect after sprinting through Pittsburgh's farm system and homering off Ranger Suarez.
- A 440-foot, two-strike shot from Griffin off Seth Martinez, while Suarez allowed two runs on three hits in 1 2/3 innings after signing a five-year, $130-million deal.
- With the left infield unsettled, Griffin's strong showing raises the possibility that he 'might not have to wait' for promotion, alongside Jared Triolo and Nick Gonzales.
- Against quality arms, Griffin succeeded versus two proven pitchers: Suarez, an All-Star 2024, and Martinez with over 100 games; Suarez felt good ramping up for World Baseball Classic preparation.
