Rookie Braves' Pitcher Delivers Starry Opening Performance
Konnor Griffin is only 19, but there’s a very real chance he’ll be the Pittsburgh Pirates’ starting shortstop on Opening Day next Thursday. That would be a lot of pressure for most 19-year-olds, but not Griffin, who everyone says is wise beyond his years. That includes teammate Bubba Chandler, who praised Griffin’s maturity on Tuesday’s episode of “Foul Territory.
” “I love KG… It’s kind of insane. Very fortunate to get to know him, get to know his wife… They don’t act like they’re 19, and that’s cool. I think that’s pretty sweet,” Chandler said in an interview with former catcher A.
J. Pierzynski. “You’re gonna see it… He’s gonna go dominate wherever he’s at.
It’s gonna be fun to watch. Can’t wait to be teammates with him one day. ” Bubba Chandler says Konnor Griffin making the Pirates' Opening Day roster "would be sick.
