For several years, New York Mets outfielder Michael Conforto has been a major extension candidate. There was never much urgency. This is beginning to change.
Conforto began his career with a bang in 2015 but showed the darker side of his game with a poor 2016 campaign. He rebounded in a big way with an All-Star selection in 2017. In the two years since he has stayed rather healthy and continued to put together numbers that easily place him just a few hairs shy of the best outfielders in baseball.
Stat junkies who like statistics which weigh OBP heavily adore Conforto.
