He's been tearing it up at A and high level A this year. Thru 67 games, his OBP is 0.412 with a staggering 0.955 OPS. 37 steals, 7 CS, with 12 dingers. Good to see a Mississippi kid do well.

It will be fun to watch how quickly he can make it to MLB. He was still 18 when spring training started.

youngest active player is 21 so..... 2028 maybe

Can't believe he took the Pirates deal for $2M/year over LSU's $1.3M/year ***

Greenboro Grasshoppers schedule allows for lots of quality highway miles on greyhounds up and down the eastern seaboard...

Didier Fuentes just turned 20 a couple of weeks ago. He's the youngest active player right now.

Kinda have to wonder if ole Jay would have lost the recruiting battle with O'Connor...

Not that it would have mattered

Konnor Griffin is the first teenager to post a 190+ wRC+ with a K% under 17% in High-A (min. 70 PA) since former No. 1 prospect Julio Rodríguez in 2019.

The only other player to do it? Juan Soto, now the highest-paid player in sports.

He's also the only player in all of Minor League baseball hitting .300 with 10 HR and 15 doubles.

Kids going to be special. He just got selected to the MLB Futures Game during All-Star Weekend alongside Braden Montgomery.
