Why Pirates' Don Kelly Is 'So Impressed' By Konnor Griffin Pittsburgh Pirates manager Don Kelly raved about top prospect Don Kelly during Sunday's spring training game.

1 DAY AGO • SPORTSNETPITTSBURGH.COM

Making team would be 'tough ask' Pirates manager Don Kelly said Wednesday that it "would be a tough ask" for Griffin to make the Opening Day roster, Andrew Fillipponi of 93.7 The Fan reports.

Impact Griffin is a 19-year-old with only 21 games of experience above A-ball, so cracking the Opening Day roster would indeed by a difficult leap. That said, it's not a surprise that Kelly is tamping down expectations for the top prospect this early in spring training. It should become clearer the deeper we get into spring training as to whether Griffin has a real chance to head north with the big club. Griffin hit .333/.415/.527 with 21 home runs and 65 stolen bases across three levels in his first professional season.

Garners spring invite The Pirates have extended Griffin an invitation to big-league camp during spring training.

Impact Arguably the top prospect in all of baseball, Griffin tore through three levels of the minors in 2025, slashing .333/.415/.527 with 21 home runs and 65 stolen bases in his first pro season. The expectation is that he will be given a real shot to win the Pirates' Opening Day shortstop job, and if that happens, Griffin -- who turns 20 in April -- would be the first teenage position player to debut in the big leagues since Juan Soto in 2018.

NOVEMBER 18, 2025 • SPORTSNETPITTSBURGH.COM

Could compete for shortstop job The Pirates are "strongly considering" giving Griffin the opportunity to win their starting shortstop job, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The No. 9 overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft, Griffin slashed .333/.415/.527 with 21 home runs and 65 stolen bases across three levels in 2025 in his first professional season, finishing the year at Double-A Altoona. Griffin will not turn 20 until late April, and the last teenage position player to debut in the big leagues was Juan Soto in 2018. The Pirates have a clear opening at shortstop, though, and the organization is sending signals that it wants to surround ace Paul Skenes with more talent. Griffin's stock in redraft leagues will soar if it looks like the Pirates will indeed give him a real chance to crack the Opening Day roster.
