Griffin

Griffin’s meteoric rise finds him as a top-10 prospect for dynasty purposes already after hitting .333/.396/.536 with nine homers and 26 steals across 231 plate appearances in 50 games for Low-A Bradenton during his professional debut. The 19-year-old prodigy earns the lightning-quick promotion after leading the entire Florida State League in hits (70) while also ranking second in both home runs and stolen bases. He looks like a potential franchise cornerstone for Pittsburgh in a couple years.

Griffin was the Pirates’ first-round selection (ninth overall) from the 2024 draft class. The 19-year-old made quick work of Low-A Bradenton, slashing .338/.396/.536 with nine homers, 36 RBI, 26 stolen bases and a 53/15 K/BB ratio over 231 plate appearances in his first 50 games. The sky looks to be the ceiling for Griffin.

Griffin’s phenomenal professional debut continued Saturday when he legged out an inside-the-park home run as part of his 21st multi-hit performance of the season. The 19-year-old phenom is slashing .338/.398/.536 with nine round-trippers and 26 steals across 50 games for Low-A Bradenton. He leads the entire Florida State League with 70 hits and ranks second in home runs, trailing only Phillies breakout prospect Aroon Escobar in the power department. Based on his current trajectory, Griffin is likely to finish the year as a top-five caliber prospect for dynasty purposes.

Griffin notched his eighth three-hit performance of the season on Saturday evening as his meteoric rise into one of the top prospects in the entire fantasy landscape continues without showing any signs of slowing down. The 19-year-old prodigy, who was the ninth-overall pick in last year’s MLB Draft, leads the Florida State League in hits (57) and slugging percentage (.516) through 44 games to kick off his professional debut. He projects as a five-category impact fantasy contributor down the road, but he’s obviously several hyperspace jumps away from reaching the big leagues.

Griffin continues to look like one of the top prospects in the dynasty landscape with another monster performance. The -year-old power/speed combo talent has recorded at least three hits in five of his last nine games and is batting .411 (23-for-56) with six extra-base hits, including two homers, and six steals in 13 games since the start of May. He’s pushing for top-10 prospect status from a dynasty standpoint heading towards midseason.

Griffin’s four-hit effort included his sixth big fly of the season, increasing his full-season batting average to .283 in the process. He currently ranks third in the entire Florida State League in round-trippers as one of the youngest players at the level at just 19 years old. The ninth-overall pick in last year’s MLB Draft is quickly evolving into an elite dynasty prospect and should reach top-10 status by midseason. He’s hitting .375 (18-for-48) with eight extra-base hits and one steal over his past 10 games.

Griffin has homered in back-to-back games and is up to four-round trippers through 17 games in his professional debut in the Carolina League. The 19-year-old phenom, who was selected ninth overall in last year’s draft, holds a robust .782 Ops with six extra-base hits and 11 stolen bases. He’s a borderline top-10 prospect for dynasty purposes already.

Griffin continues to impress during his professional debut in the lower minors after being selected ninth overall in the 2024 MLB Draft. The 18-year-old prodigy flashes some of the most impressive tools of any prospect in baseball, including an above-average power/speed blend, and is going to finish the season as one of the top fantasy prospects from a dynasty standpoint.

If you’re looking for a potential dark horse candidate to become the top dynasty prospect in baseball, Griffin fits the bill. The 18-year-old prodigy made some serious noise on Friday in his professional debut, getting on-base three times out of the leadoff spot. It’s worth noting that he’s playing shortstop to open the season after playing center field throughout spring training. He’s Rotoworld’s 30th-ranked prospect for dynasty purposes already and figures to continue rising.

None of the quartet were expected to challenge for a spot on the Opening Day roster, so there are no real surprises among the group. Johnson, 20, was the team’s first-round selection (fourth overall) from the 2022 draft. He finished the 2024 campaign with 14 games at Double-A Altoona and that’s where he’ll open the 2025 season. The Pirates are now down to 63 players remaining on the big league side of spring camp.
