Living in Port St. Lucie, Florida, I have been able to follow the career of Michael Conforto since he played for the Class A St. Lucie Mets. I think he is going to be a solid major leaguer, if not a future All-Star. I believe the Mets feel the same way. He is one of their prime prospects and, what's more, he's already shown he has the chops to succeed in the majors.
Of course, it hasn't been all smooth sailing. Coming off a fine debut in 2015, he was batting .365 with four home runs last April when the wheels came off. Conforto's batting average plummeted to .222 in the next seven weeks and he was sent down to Triple-A Las Vegas. During the last three months of the season, Conforto bounced back and forth between the Mets and the minors. While his numbers in New York recovered only slightly, he batted .422 with nine home runs in 128 Las Vegas at-bats.
