For all of the good he has done this year, New York Mets outfielder Michael Conforto may end up setting a new record this season. Entering the final six games of the season, Scooter is six strikeouts shy of tying the single-season strikeout record set by David Wright in 2010.
Not long ago, I mentioned how there’s one Wright record someone will surely smash. With two three-game series left, Conforto won’t smash it but he can set a new high.
Even during his hot month of August, Conforto is averaging almost a strikeout per game.
