Konnor Griffin is 19 years old.
He hit an RBI double on the 5th pitch of his MLB career.

The last teenager to debut as a position player for the Pirates was Aramis Ramirez in 1998.

🧵 Let's talk about why Griffin might be the most important prospect in baseball right now:

Baseball is the only sport where you need to be blessed by God in order to play it professionally

[5/5] The Pirates haven't been must-watch baseball in years.

Konnor Griffin just changed that.
Watch. This. Kid.

[4/5] At 19 years and 344 days, he's the youngest position player to debut with a walk AND an RBI since 1958.
This stat is not from a random era. It's rare in any era.

Hot take: Bring in the robot umps full time.
Not because umps are always wrong.
Because the second they CAN be challenged, every missed call becomes a moment.
Baseball just added a new kind of drama and people are mad about it. Wild.

Fair play or foul play?

Do you think this is a dirty play by Manny Machado?

It looked like he intentionally kicked the ball away so Willson Contreras couldn’t field the ball…

The Mets gave Juan Soto $765 million.
He got hurt running the bases in the first inning of a game in Week 1.
Baseball is not for the weak.
