Konnor Griffin, the 19 year old #1 pick of the Pittsburgh Pirates in last year's draft, will likely start for Altoona Tuesday at 6 p.m.  Griffin has scored 97 runs this year, stolen 59 bases, hit 16 home runs, and is batting .332.  He will be the youngest player to suit up for Altoona in its history, surpassing Andrew McCutchen and Jose Tabata with that distinction.  Griffin can play shortstop and outfield.
