Michael Conforto News
San Francisco Giants president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi and the team view outfielder Michael Conforto as their everyday left fielder for the 2024 season, with Jung Hoo Lee in center field and Mike Yastrzemski in right field. Recent acquisition Jorge Soler will be the Giants' primary designated hitter. If anyone is going to steal playing time away from Conforto in left field, it would be Luis Matos. The 30-year-old left-handed hitter missed all of 2022 due to a shoulder injury and returned to hit .239/.334/.384 with 15 home runs, 14 doubles, 58 RBI, four stolen bases and 58 runs scored in 125 games in his first year in the Bay Area. Conforto has seen his power decline since the shortened 2020 season, and he could be in for more of a platoon role if he doesn't pick things up in 2024.
San Francisco Giants outfielder Michael Conforto opted into his 2024 contract and will make $18 million next season. Conforto enjoyed his time in the Bay Area in 2023 after hitting .239/.334/.384 with 15 home runs, 14 doubles, 58 RBI, four stolen bases and 58 runs scored in 125 games for the Gigantes. He missed all of the 2022 campaign due to a shoulder injury, so all things considered, it was a successful season in San Fran for Conforto. The 30-year-old left-handed swinger has injury concerns, but he's a career. 253 hitter with 147 home runs and 454 RBI in eight major-league seasons with the Mets and Giants. He hit a career-high 33 long balls as recently as 2019 with the Mets.
San Francisco Giants outfielder Michael Conforto is not in his team's lineup against the San Diego Padres on Monday. Conforto will take the night off against tough southpaw Blake Snell as the Giants open up their final homestand of the season. The Giants will tab Heliot Ramos to take Conforto's place in the outfield. Look for Conforto to return to the lineup on Tuesday.

Following his 2019 breakout, Mets outfielder Michael Conforto delivered another impressive campaign in 2020, despite the small sample size. In 2020, Conforto posted a .322/.412/.927 line with a career-high .927 OPS, nine home runs, and 31 RBI in 202 at-bats. Similar to 2019, most of Conforto's metrics supported his performance, making a repeat in 2021 likely. In 2020, he generated a .284 xBA, a .475 xSLG, and a wOBA of .395 which was in the top six percent of MLB. Although Conforto saw a dip in overall launch angle and exit velocity compared to 2019, the percentage of 100 mph fly balls he hit increased by almost two percent in 2020. In addition, the average exit velocity on his top-5% hardest-hit balls in the air increased by over one mph in 2020. This, combined with an 11% barrel rate in 2020, suggests he will maintain his power production in 2021. Hitting in the middle of an even more potent Mets' lineup which now includes Francisco Lindor, Conforto will again have plenty of counting stat opportunities. With a current ADP of 76, managers should confidently draft Conforto as a second OF who can provide 30 home runs, 90-100 RBI, with some slight batting average regression. When healthy, Conforto is one of the Mets' most consistent offensive producers. 2021 will be no different.
