Konnor Griffin is heating up, and this stretch feels like more than just a hot week at the plate.
On today’s episode of OffBeat, Alex Stumpf breaks down Griffin’s strong series against the Reds, his recent 10-game surge, and the swing adjustments that may be helping the Pirates’ young shortstop settle into the major leagues. From simplifying his leg kick to quieting his hands and getting himself into a better position to hit, Griffin is showing real signs of growth at just 20 years old.
Alex also explains why the biggest takeaway may not be the results themselves, but the process behind them: Griffin’s work ethic, self-awareness, willingness to adjust, and ability to keep things simple while learning on the fly in Pittsburgh.
Is this the beginning of Konnor Griffin becoming the player the Pirates believed he could be?
