LSU Baseball Lands Commitment From Konnor Griffin, Nation's Top Recruit For 2024

Konnor Griffin, the nation's top baseball recruit for 2024, announced his commitment to LSU on Thursday night.

Griffin, a native of Florence, Miss., (Jackson Preparatory), picked the Tigers over offers from Mississippi State, Ole Miss, and Vanderbilt. Per SI.com:

A do-it-all player on the diamond, Griffin has played shortstop, outfielder, third base and is a right-handed pitcher with a fastball that has reached 93 mph.

Griffin, who is rated the No. 1 high school prospect in the 2024 MLB Draft, comes out of Jackson Prep in Mississippi. It’ll be a challenge to get the youngster on campus given his draft status, but for the Tigers to gain a commitment from such a coveted prospect proves this program is continuing to trend in the right direction.

But Griffin’s path to becoming the No. 1 player in the 2024 class is different. Originally a 2025 prospect, the gifted athlete decided to reclassify and enter the 2024 cycle, making his ranking that much more impressive given his age.
