Player Review: Michael Conforto
2020 Stats: 54 Games, 202 At Bats, .322 Batting Average, 65 Hits, 12 Doubles, 9 Home Runs, 31 RBI’s, 40 Runs Scored, 3 Stolen Bases, .927 OPS, 2.0 WAR
Story: The Mets entered 2020 hoping to get more consistency out of Michael Conforto, who had gone through some significant peaks and valleys over the past two seasons. Conforto delivered on that promise and then some, becoming the team’s most valuable player in 2020. Over the course of 54 games, Conforto led the Mets with a .322 batting average, the seventh-best in all of major league baseball, while also contributing 12 doubles, nine homers and 31 RBI’s. Conforto’s .927 OPS was the 21st best in the game and his highest mark in that statistic since 2017, when he slugged 27 homers and drove in 68 runs in just 109 games. The Mets also left Conforto in right field all year and he delivered his finest defensive season, showing off a strong arm while also making a few highlight-reel catches. The one bummer for Conforto was that he suffered a hamstring injury in late September that forced the Mets to shut him down for the final five games of the year.
