The Pittsburgh Pirates are set to begin a new chapter with shortstop Konnor Griffin, MLB’s top prospect, making his debut on Friday against the Baltimore Orioles. Fellow Pirate and Cy Young Award winner Paul Skenes expressed excitement for Griffin, who at 19 is the youngest player to debut since Alex Rodriguez in 1994. Griffin has excelled at Triple-A, posting a .438 average and a 1.196 OPS, and he’s expected to bring energy and skill to the team. Skenes, who also faced high expectations after being the No. 1 overall pick, will provide support as Griffin navigates the big leagues.
