Hello and welcome to the Pirates Fan Forum here on DK.

Pittsburgh Sports Podcast Network.

I'm your host Gary Morgan.

With me as always my friend Jim Stam.

I'm going to bypass all of our normal BS banter stuff and jump right to the feature here.

Gary, don't even talk.

Let's just roll.

Let's go, baby.

Yep.

Tonight we have Pittsburgh Pirates first round selection in the 2024 draft and ninth

overall pick Connor Griffin and his father, Kevin, too.

Gracious enough to join us as well.

Hello, guys.

How you doing?

I appreciate you having us home. Awesome to have you on man it's it's really going to be a good time looking forward to talking ball

with you yes sir let me ask you this Connor right off the bat right do you get tired of hearing that

right pirates first round selection number nine overall is it getting tiresome yet

or do you or does it still sound pretty pretty darn good at this point it still sounds pretty

good uh i don't think it'll you know yeah i don't think i'll get tired of it because this it's

definitely a big accomplishment for me absolutely i mean so you're a couple months from turning 19, and you had to work your tail off to

reclassify it to be in the last draft, right?

So what went into that decision for you?
