Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Konnor Griffin, the No. 1 overall MLB prospect, impressed on Tuesday by hitting his first two home runs of spring training during a 16-7 victory over the Boston Red Sox. His first homer traveled 374 feet over JetBlue Park’s Green Monster, which is taller than the original in Boston. Griffin capitalized on a 75 mph curveball from Red Sox pitcher Ranger Suarez, with the hit noted as a home run in all 30 MLB parks. This performance bolsters his case for making the Opening Day roster.
