NEW YORK -- In the Mets' 3-1 win over the Phillies on Monday, Michael Conforto showed all the offensive tools that made him New York's No. 1 Draft pick in 2014.
He rifled an inside changeup into right field for a single. He smacked an outside fastball for a home run to left -- the first opposite-field shot of his career. And when Phillies starter Jerad Eickhoff was done giving him pitches to hit, Conforto took a walk.
But for one of the first times in his brief Major League career, Conforto got in his own way.
