Promoted to Double-A
Griffin is being promoted to Double-A Altoona, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Impact
Griffin will make the leap to Double-A after posting a .325 average with seven home runs, 36 RBI, 48 runs scored and 33 stolen bases over 194 at-bats in 51 games with High-A Greensboro. The 19-year-old is considered to be the No. 1 prospect in baseball by both MLB Pipeline and Baseball America, and he is now just two steps away from making his major-league debut.

Heading to Double-A
The Pirates promoted Griffin from High-A Greensboro to Double-A Altoona on Sunday, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Impact
Griffin will receive his second promotion of the season after a dominant showing during his time in the South Atlantic League. Over 51 games with Greensboro, Griffin slashed .325/.432/.510 with seven home runs and 33 stolen bases across 234 plate appearances. Since being selected with the No. 9 overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft, the 19-year-old shortstop has quickly established himself as arguably baseball's top prospect, and he could be on track to make his MLB debut at some point in 2026.

Looking like future star
Griffin is slashing .312/.414/.505 with four home runs and 14 steals in 24 games for High-A Greensboro.
Impact
Griffin has 13 homers and 40 steals in 74 games across Single-A and High-A in his first pro season after getting selected ninth overall in last year's draft. A 6-foot-4 shortstop who has also played eight games in center field this season, Griffin is an elite athlete who seems to be getting better as a hitter as the season goes on. He had a 22.9 percent strikeout rate and 6.5 percent walk rate in 50 games at Single-A and has a 19.8 percent strikeout rate and 11.7 percent walk rate so far at High-A. Once Roman Anthony graduates, Griffin will have a strong case for being the No. 1 overall prospect for dynasty leagues.
