Dynamic Pirates Prospect Hauls In Ridiculous Diving Catch

Konnor Griffin continues to impress in his first professional season for the Pittsburgh Pirates in the minor leagues.

The 2024 No. 9 overall pick put together a fantastic start with the bat, slashing .323/.373/.547 for a .919 OPS with seven home runs and 24 runs batted in across 34 games for Low-A Bradenton.

His versatility as a defender boosts his profile as well. Griffin showed that off Tuesday night in center field with a tremendous diving catch for the Marauders.
