Griffin Riley Conine (born July 11, 1997) is an American professional baseball outfielder for the Miami Marlins of Major League Baseball (MLB). He is the son of former MLB outfielder Jeff Conine.

Amateur career

Conine attended Pine Crest High School in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. In his senior season, he recorded a .341 batting average with eight home runs and 27 runs batted in (RBI).[1] He was selected in the 31st round of the 2015 Major League Baseball draft by the Miami Marlins, but did not sign, and attended Duke University.[2] In his first season for the Blue Devils, Conine appeared in 35 games and hit .205 with six RBI.[1] As a sophomore, he batted .298 with 13 home runs and 56 RBI.[1] He became the first Blue Devil to total 50-plus RBI in a season since Nate Freiman (62) in 2009, and with 13 home runs, was the first Duke player with 10 or more in a season since Jake Lemmerman (10) in 2010.[3] In his third and final season with Duke, Conine played in 63 games and hit .286 with 18 home runs and 52 RBI.[1] In 2017, he played collegiate summer baseball with the Cotuit Kettleers of the Cape Cod Baseball League, and was named a league all-star and the league's Outstanding Pro Prospect.[4][5][6]

Professional career

Toronto Blue Jays

Conine was drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in the second round, with the 52nd overall selection, of the 2018 Major League Baseball draft, and signed on June 20 for a $1.35 million signing bonus.[7][8] He was assigned to the Rookie-level Gulf Coast Blue Jays and appeared in two games before being promoted to the Low–A Vancouver Canadians.[2] Conine finished the season with a .243 batting average, seven home runs, and 33 RBI in 57 games.[2]

On November 19, 2018, Conine was suspended for 50 games after testing positive for a banned stimulant.[9] He spent the 2019 season with the Single–A Lansing Lugnuts, slashing .283/.371/.576 with 22 home runs and 64 RBI over 80 games.[10]

Miami Marlins

The Blue Jays traded Conine to the Marlins as the player to be named later in their August 31, 2020, trade for Jonathan Villar.[11][12] He did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[13]

Conine returned to action in 2021 with the High–A Beloit Snappers and Double–A Pensacola Blue Wahoos. In 108 games split between the two affiliates, he slashed .218/.330/.531 with career–highs in home runs (36) and RBI (84).[14] Conine returned to Pensacola in 2022, playing in 118 games and hitting .215/.337/.435 with 24 home runs and 74 RBI.[15] He split the 2023 season between Pensacola and the Triple–A Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp, batting .247/.355/.462 with 20 home runs and 72 RBI.[16]

Conine began the 2024 season with Jacksonville, playing in 112 games and slashing .268/.350/.475 with 19 home runs and 68 RBI.[17] On August 26, 2024, Conine was selected to the 40-man roster and promoted to the major leagues for the first time.[18]
