Konnor Griffin is considered one of MLB's best high school prospects in the last decade. The two-way star has regularly shown off his high-end potential and ability to make a major league roster at a young age.
Thus, Griffin, an LSU Tigers commitment, will certainly get drafted this month. It's only a question of how high he'll be taken as he ponders whether to play collegiate baseball or head straight to the pros.
Konnor Griffin's draft projection
MLB.com, Baseball America, MLB Pipeline, Perfect Game and Prospects Live have Konnor Griffin going off the board as a top 10 pick.
The Jackson Prep star plays shortstop and outfielder and pitches. He was once part of the class of 2025 but later reclassified to join the class of 2024. So, he will be 18 just before the 2024 MLB draft, making him one of the younger players available.
Griffin is rated as the second-best two-way prospect behind Florida Gators standout Jac Caglianone in this year's draft.
