WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Michael Conforto had already played and hit well in a World Series when he arrived to spring training in 2016, had a dreadful camp and went on to have a disappointing season.
“After having that big World Series year, I came in like I had earned a spot and was going through the motions,’’ Conforto said Monday in Port St. Lucie. “That obviously didn’t prepare me well enough for that season. It’s one of the lessons I’ve learned and one of the things I try to make sure no other young prospects do.
