In the debut episode of OffBeat with Alex Stumpf, Alex dives right into the biggest Pirates storyline of the moment: Konnor Griffin. Is the 19-year-old phenom truly forcing his way onto the Opening Day roster, or is the hype getting ahead of the reality? Alex breaks down what he’s hearing, what he’s seeing, and why Griffin’s spring has created a very real conversation about Pittsburgh’s future. From the excitement around his talent to the fastball concerns, service-time implications, and possible extension talk, this episode explores every angle of the Pirates’ toughest spring decision. If you want a grounded, connected, beat-writer look at the story everyone in Pittsburgh is talking about, this is the place to start.
