Things are not looking good for the New York Mets and Michael Conforto right now. The lefty outfielder came into the season with high expectations despite dealing with shoulder surgery in the offseason.
The Mets are in the midst of a complete tailspin having lost eight straight and in those games, Conforto is 3-for-28. During that stretch, he has one home run. That home run was also the only run he’s driven in during this stretch. And to make matters worse, he’s struck out twice as many times as he’s walked.
To say that Conforto has underachieved so far this season would be an understatement.
