Through the early part of 2019, one area New York Mets outfielder Michael Conforto has improved greatly is in the plate discipline department. Even though it’s far too soon to fully assess, he is nearly equaling his walk to strikeout rate. The strikeouts may eventually leave the walks in the dust, but he is well on pace to walk more than ever before and cut down on seeing strike three.
After parts of five seasons, Conforto has averaged 77 walks and 151 strikeouts per 162 games. The walk numbers are certainly positive while the strikeouts are a little too plentiful.
