Griffin Joins Hall of Famers in First‑Game RBI Club

Konnor Griffin, still a teenager, has reached base in each of his first three major‑league games, a rare accomplishment that has only been matched by Hall of Famers Adrian Beltre (1998), Andruw Jones (1996) and Ivan Rodriguez (1991). Griffin’s first at‑bat was a double, followed by a walk and an HBP in his second and third games. Though his early stats are modest, the Pirates’ phenom’s early success puts him in exclusive company and signals a bright future.
