Konnor Griffin continues to rise sharply as one of the top young prospects in professional baseball.
On Monday, Griffin was named to the National League roster for the 2025 All-Star Futures Game. The pre-MLB All-Star Game event annually showcases baseball’s top prospects.
The 19-year-old Jackson Prep product was the ninth overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft and is currently ranked as the Pittsburg Pirates’ No. 2 overall prospect. In his first pro campaign, split between the Low-A Bradenton Marauders and the High-A Greensboro Grasshoppers, Griffin has popped 12 home runs, driven in 48 runs, and stolen 37 bases while hitting for a .343 batting average.
Griffin is also ranked the 31st best prospect in all of minor league baseball.
After reclassifying from the class of 2025 to the class of 2024 following his high school freshman season, Griffin batted .548 with 110 hits, 69 RBI, and 17 home runs over his final two seasons at Jackson Prep. On top of leading the Patriots to state championships every year he was in the program, he was named the Gatorade National Baseball Player of the Year after his senior season.
