There hasn’t been any doubt, but now it’s official that Griffin will be at camp. Given the Pirates’ history, it seems unlikely that he’ll have much of a shot at winning the shortstop job prior to Opening Day, but he could well prove to be the best man for the job at age 19 (he turns 20 in April). Griffin hit .333/.415/.527 with 21 homers and 65 steals between high-A and Double-A last season, and he is widely regarded as the game’s No. 1 prospect.

Griffin is the top prospect in baseball, according to MLB Pipeline and many other rankings sites. He’s just 19 years old, but he hit .333/.415/.527 with 21 home runs and 65 steals in his first professional season after Pittsburgh drafted him 9th overall in the 2024 MLB Draft. As Passan notes, the last teenager to debut in the majors was Juan Soto back in 2018, and the Pirates are certainly not a win-now team, so it feels unlikely Griffin will actually open the season as the team’s shortstop, but he may not be that far away.

Griffin continues to cement his status as the top prospect in the fantasy landscape as he’s only the second minor leaguer to record a 20-homer, 60-steal campaign in the last two decades. The 19-year-old prodigy, who has gone deep seven times in his last seven games at the Double-A level, is slashing a sublime .329/.415/.529 with 112 runs scored, 20 home runs, 90 RBI and 65 stolen bases across 116 games. He’s on track to reach Pittsburgh at some point during the 2026 season.

Griffin continues to solidify his case as the game’s top fantasy prospect, becoming just the second minor leaguer in the last two decades to post a 20-homer, 60-steal season. The 19-year-old phenom has homered four times in his last seven Double-A games and is slashing an eye-popping .329/.415/.529 with 112 runs, 20 homers, 90 RBI, and 65 steals across 116 contests. He’s currently on track to debut in Pittsburgh sometime in 2026.

Griffin’s rapid ascendance has him in the proverbial driver’s seat to finish his professional debut as Rotoworld’s top-ranked dynasty prospect. The 19-year-old phenom, who figures to arrive in Pittsburgh at some point next season, went deep for the first time at the Double-A level on Friday night and is now batting .353 (12-for-34) in nine games since being promoted earlier this month. He’s up to 44 extra-base hits, including 18 home runs, and 64 stolen bases in 110 games across three minor-league level this season. Unreal.

Rotoworld’s top-ranked dynasty prospect heading into the home stretch of the 2025 campaign, Griffin has shown zero signs of slowing down in his professional debut. The 19-year-old phenom collected three hits in his third game at the Double-A level to notch his 18th contest with a least three hits this season. He’s recorded a stratospheric .331/.410/.517 triple-slash line with 41 extra-base hits and 60 stolen bases across three minor league level this season. It’s not out of the question that he could ascend to the majors at some point during the 2026 campaign.

The top-ranked prospect in all of baseball, Griffin has breezed through two minor league levels already this season — slashing .331/.414/.525 with 16 homers, 71 RBI and 59 stolen bases (70 attempts) over 460 plate appearances between Single-A Bradenton and High-A Greensboro. That’s even more impressive when you figure he did it as a 19-year-old in his first professional season. The Pirates’ shortstop of the future clearly looks to be on the fast track to the big leagues and fantasy stardom.

Griffin continued showcasing why he’s Rotoworld’s top-ranked dynasty prospect on Saturday afternoon by recording his 17th three-hit performance of the season. He’s in the midst of an eight-game hitting streak and is batting .343 (12-for-35) with three homers and six steals in nine game since the start of August. The 19-year-old prodigy has flashed an impressive power/speed combination skillset in his professional debut, hitting .333/.412/.536 with 40 extra-base hits — 16 home runs — and 52 stolen bases across 94 games between High-A Greensboro and Low-A Bradenton.

With Red Sox phenom Roman Anthony officially graduating from prospect status, the sites had to update their rankings, and both of them put Griffin as the top prospect in all of baseball. The 19-year-old — who is now the top-ranked prospect in Rotoworld’s dynasty rankings as well — is hitting .332/.409/.520 with 13 home runs and 46 steals in 83 games between Low-A and High-A this season. He also sports an impressive 27/17 K/BB ratio in 33 games since being promoted to High-A. It’s likely that Griffin will begin next season at Double-A Altoona and probably won’t make his major-league debut until 2027, but the Pirates now have the top hitting and pitching prospect in all of baseball with Bubba Chandler somehow still in the minor leagues.

It’s a relief after Griffin was hit by a 97-mph pitch during the fourth inning of Saturday’s prospect showcase. The 19-year-old prodigy, who will likely finish the season as the top prospect in the fantasy landscape, started for the National League at shortstop and batted second. He finished 1-for-2 and was also caught stealing. He’s hitting .327 with 13 homers and 41 steals across 75 games this season between High-A Greensboro and Low-A Bradenton in his professional debut. The hype is real.

Griffin’s meteoric rise finds him as a top-10 prospect for dynasty purposes already after hitting .333/.396/.536 with nine homers and 26 steals across 231 plate appearances in 50 games for Low-A Bradenton during his professional debut. The 19-year-old prodigy earns the lightning-quick promotion after leading the entire Florida State League in hits (70) while also ranking second in both home runs and stolen bases. He looks like a potential franchise cornerstone for Pittsburgh in a couple years.

Griffin was the Pirates’ first-round selection (ninth overall) from the 2024 draft class. The 19-year-old made quick work of Low-A Bradenton, slashing .338/.396/.536 with nine homers, 36 RBI, 26 stolen bases and a 53/15 K/BB ratio over 231 plate appearances in his first 50 games. The sky looks to be the ceiling for Griffin.

Griffin’s phenomenal professional debut continued Saturday when he legged out an inside-the-park home run as part of his 21st multi-hit performance of the season. The 19-year-old phenom is slashing .338/.398/.536 with nine round-trippers and 26 steals across 50 games for Low-A Bradenton. He leads the entire Florida State League with 70 hits and ranks second in home runs, trailing only Phillies breakout prospect Aroon Escobar in the power department. Based on his current trajectory, Griffin is likely to finish the year as a top-five caliber prospect for dynasty purposes.

Griffin notched his eighth three-hit performance of the season on Saturday evening as his meteoric rise into one of the top prospects in the entire fantasy landscape continues without showing any signs of slowing down. The 19-year-old prodigy, who was the ninth-overall pick in last year’s MLB Draft, leads the Florida State League in hits (57) and slugging percentage (.516) through 44 games to kick off his professional debut. He projects as a five-category impact fantasy contributor down the road, but he’s obviously several hyperspace jumps away from reaching the big leagues.
