Konnor Griffin - Prospect Profile

Joel Reuter - Bleacher Report - July 7th: "With an athletic 6'4", 215-pound frame, a rare 60-power, 65-speed offensive profile, and the defensive chops to be a solid shortstop or an elite center fielder, Griffin won Gatorade National High School Player of the Year this spring."

Ayrton Ostly - USA Today - July 4th: "Griffin is one of the top prep players in the class and won Gatorade National High School Player of the Year. He boasts a 6-foot-4 frame and a rounded set of skills."

Baseball America - July 1st: "A 6-foot-4, 210-pound dynamo, Griffin has excelled as a hitter and pitcher with a tremendous package of athleticism, physical upside, tools and track record of performance. He’s a bouncy athlete with plus-plus speed, raw power that should become plus and plus arm strength that could also become a 70-grade tool in the future."

MLB.com - July 1st: "His size does add some length to his right-handed stroke and he has some timing issues he's ironing out at the plate, but he controls the strike zone well and makes regular contact. His combination of electric bat speed, strength and leverage could translate into 30-homer power as he learns to drive the ball in the air more consistently."

Prospects Live - May 29th: "He's got two-way abilities, though most project him as a center fielder, where his athleticism, plus speed, and excellent range are on full display. He's got a very good arm and plenty of twitchiness, too. At the dish, it's a polished approach with a ton of bat speed and over-the-fence power, which projects as plus once he's fully developed."

Keith Law - The Athletic - May 22nd: "He has quick hands but his swing naturally gets long from his deep hand load, after which he generates power from his excellent hip rotation and strong balance through contact. He also hasn’t shown great command of the strike zone to date, and may need more time in the low minors to develop that aspect of his game, especially given where he’s from."

Kiley McDaniel - ESPN - May 8th: "Griffin is young for the class, made good contact over the summer and gives me Fernando Tatis Jr. vibes as an electric 6-foot-4 athlete with at least plus raw power and plus-plus speed who might also be a shortstop."
