Konnor Griffin will get a chance to showcase his wide range of skills when the Pittsburgh Pirates take on the Detroit Tigers in their Spring Breakout game Friday night.
Griffin, widely considered the No. 1 prospect in baseball, wants to prove that he is ready to make the jump to the top level despite not playing a single Triple-A game. At just 19 years old, he could become the first teenager to secure a spot on an Opening Day roster since Ken Griffey Jr. made his MLB debut in 1989.
While Tigers shortstop Kevin McGonigle (the No. 2 overall prospect) and Pirates pitcher Bubba Chandler aren't expected to participate in the game, there are plenty of other prospects worth watching. Right-hander Seth Hernandez, the No. 6 overall pick in the 2025 MLB Draft, will start for Pittsburgh, and Tigers outfielder Max Clark, MLB Pipeline's No. 10 prospect, will also play.
Here is everything you need to know about Pirates vs. Tigers, including TV and streaming options for Friday's game.
