It shouldn’t come as any surprise that Michael Conforto is hitting very well thus far in the 2020 season. Over the course of four-plus seasons in the big leagues coming into this year, the 27-year-old had already established that he is a well-above-average hitter, consistently getting on base and hitting for power.
This year, though, he’s looking better than ever, albeit in a tiny sample of games. In 80 plate appearances, Conforto has hit .324/.425/.515 with three home runs, a couple of stolen bases, and a 166 wRC+. And looking at his underlying numbers, it’s not like Conforto has suddenly changed.
