2026 Fantasy Outlook
Griffin came into 2025 with high expectations as one of the toolsiest prospects in the lower levels, but he exceeded the hype, even as the consensus top prep position player from the 2024 First-Year Player Draft. Known for his plus-plus speed, premium athleticism and physical 6-foot-4, 225-pound frame, Griffin looks the part of a future superstar in fantasy and real life. He slashed .333/.415/.527 with 21 home runs, 65 steals and a 21.7 percent strikeout rate as a 19-year-old playing 50 games at Single-A, 51 games at High-A and 21 games at Double-A. His wRC+ actually climbed with each promotion, culminating with him being 75 percent better than the average Double-A hitter despite being the second-youngest hitter with 80 plate appearances at the level, behind only Leo De Vries. There were questions about Griffin's hit tool as an amateur, but now the only real question is when he'll make his big-league debut in 2026. Despite the fact he hasn't played at Triple-A, Griffin is already one of Pittsburgh's best position players, and the two sides may work on a contract extension this winter/spring that would accelerate his timetable. He can play anywhere on the diamond but has seen the most work at shortstop. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a nine-year, $140 million contract extension with the Pirates in April of 2026. Contract includes $10 million in salary escalators.
Out 8-to-10 weeks with finger issue
The Pirates placed Griffin on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a torn tendon in his left ring finger, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Analysis
Per director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk, Griffin will wear a splint for six weeks and is expected to be sidelined for 8-to-10 weeks. That puts the rookie on the shelf until early September, at minimum, which is a massive blow to the Pirates and Griffin's fantasy managers. Jared Triolo will likely handle the bulk of the playing time at shortstop for the Pirates while Griffin is out.

Stat Review
How does Konnor Griffin compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank.

2025 Fantasy Outlook
Griffin, the consensus top prep position player from the 2024 draft, has four loud tools, while his hit tool is more of a question mark. A 6-foot-4, 215-pound righty hitter who plays a good shortstop and an even better center field, Griffin has 70-grade speed, a 70-grade arm and plus power that could tick up even more at his physical peak. He turns 19 in April, so he's on the younger side for his class, and most sluggers who are as tall and as young as Griffin come with some hit tool risk. Projecting prep hit tools is one of the toughest tasks for amateur scouts, so there's not going to be much clarity on whether that's a clear weakness or a non-issue until the Mississippi high schooler gets to full-season ball. He didn't play after getting selected ninth overall by the Pirates and should get assigned to Single-A to begin the year. Griffin has a very high ceiling as a 30/30 candidate whose defensive utility should keep him in the lineup every day.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could miss more than two months
Griffin, who's on the injured list with a finger injury, will be sidelined for a period between eight and 10 weeks, according to Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Analysis
The specific recovery timeline is still uncertain, but if Griffin doesn't suffer any setbacks, he could return to the Pirates' big-league roster in early September in a best-case scenario. The promising shortstop suffered an injury to his left ring finger.
