The Pittsburgh Pirates have signed 2024 first round draft pick Konnor Griffin to a $6,532,025 deal. The move was reported by several Pittsburgh media members, including Andrew Destin of the Post-Gazette.
Griffin was drafted by the Pirates with the ninth overall pick, as the first high school player off the board in the draft. He also might have the highest ceiling in this year’s draft class, featuring an assortment of plus-to-elite tools. He was the Gatorado National High School Player of the Year, and had a commitment to LSU, before the Pirates signed him to an over-slot deal.
