Pirates celebrate Konnor Griffin's 20th birthday with a bouncy house

The Pittsburgh Pirates have had a lot to celebrate recently. The team entered play April 27 at 16-12, just two games back of the NL Central lead in the most competitive division in baseball to start the year. They're coming off a series win over division rival Milwaukee and reigning Cy Young winner Paul Skenes is looking dominant as ever after his lackluster Opening Day start.

However, the Pirates wanted to take the celebrations up a notch, and since rookie Konnor Griffin's 20th birthday was April 24, the team made sure to bring the celebration to the locker room ... by ordering a bounce house.

As evidenced by the video, this wasn't the first time the Pirates had considered getting a bounce house in the locker room. Skenes had thought of that very act not long ago. Now, the Pirates have seen it through.

How did Konnor Griffin perform on his birthday?

Griffin balled out on his birthday, so perhaps the bouncy castle will become a new tradition.

The highly-touted rookie went 3-for-4 with 3 RBI and his first major league home run in Pittsburgh's 6-0 win over Milwaukee.

Konnor Griffin stats

Although Griffin went bananas on his birthday, the top prospect has struggled to start his big league career, slashing just .224/.286/.316 with one home run through 22 games.

Griffin remains one of the fastest players in baseball though, boasting a sprint speed in the 99th percentile of the league and one of the best bat speeds in baseball as well.
