In 2018, New York Mets fans were grasping for straws in the second half to find anything good. One of the positive stories from the final months of the season involved how well Michael Conforto played. He finished the year with a second-half batting line of .273/.356/.539 after hitting .216/.344/.366 before the All-Star Break.
Last year, Conforto was particularly good in September. It’s a month when you want the most from your top players. Unfortunately, Conforto will once again play meaningless games in the final month of the season. Any success he has will have little meaning in restoring much faith in his abilities.
