The 2017 season was undoubtedly bittersweet for Michael Conforto. On one hand, he bounced back from a frustrating 2016 season that saw him battle a wrist injury en route to a .220/.310/.414, 96 wRC+, 1.3 fWAR season in just 348 plate appearances to a .279/.384/.555, 148 wRC+, 4.4 fWAR season in 440 plate appearances.
Not only was Conforto one of the best hitters on the Mets, he was one of the best hitters in all of baseball. His 146 wRC+ was tied for 10th in the league with Nelson Cruz and Kris Bryant — he was simply an elite hitter in 2017,and was one of the few bright spots during a devastating Mets season.
