## Resource

The Pittsburgh Pirates are riding a youth revolution, fueled by breakout rookies and prospects like 19-year-old shortstop Konnor Griffin—signed to a massive 9-year, $140M deal—who’s already making his mark at the plate. Outfielders Jhostynxon Garcia and Esmerlyn Valdez have hit their first homers, while bullpen arms Brandan Bidois and Wilber Dotel are stepping up. Veteran starters Paul Skenes, Braxton Ashcraft, and Bubba Chandler anchor the rotation, while Mason Montgomery and Henry Davis contribute in key roles. With a record above .500, the Pirates are chasing a playoff return after a 10-year drought—and their young core is proving they’re ready to deliver.
