The Pittsburgh Pirates reassigned top prospect Konnor Griffin to Minor League camp following spring training struggles.
The Game Network — Where History Is Kept
Griffin hit .171 with a .749 OPS in 16 Grapefruit League games during the 2026 spring training. The 19-year-old shortstop homered three times in his first six games, then batted .148 over his past 10 games with one home run, two walks and 11 strikeouts. Griffin was tied for the team lead in home runs with four and RBIs with nine prior to his reassignment.
Griffin advanced quickly through the system during the 2025 season but has just 98 plate appearances at Double-A and has not yet played at Triple-A. Manager Don Kelly made the announcement at LECOM Park in Bradenton, Florida.
