2021 Fantasy Outlook
Conforto continues to make strides as a hitter. Way back in the day, there was pseudo-science around the Age 27 theory which pointed to many hitters having career years at age 27. It is a long-debunked theory, but that does not discredit what Conforto did at that age in the 2020 season. His 157 wRC+ was the eighth-best in the National League, and yet somehow Ryan Tepera received more MVP votes than Conforto did. The plate discipline skills have been remarkably consistent for a player in his mid-20s, but the career-best batting average was a big surprise. He did stop pulling the ball and used all fields, which is how DJ LeMahieu has done so well for the other New York team. Conforto's xBA came in at .284, and even that would have been a career-best batting average. Hitters that can hit the ball to all fields are tough to shift on, which allows for more hits to bleed through. This bears watching in 2021. Read Past Outlooks

A quick glance at leading indicators, namely K%, BB% and average exit velocity, suggests a stagnation in Conforto's skills in his age-26 season, but there was some underlying growth. When Conforto did get fooled, he was able to make contact with those pitches out of the zone more often (63.4 O-Contact%). He trimmed his K% against left-handed pitching from 30.9% to 25.9% and hit .268 against offspeed pitches, up from .189 in 2018. Among 451 batters with at least 100 plate appearances, Conforto ranked 35th in xwOBA with a .367 mark, and his xwOBA on contact was up close to 30 points. A bonus for fantasy owners: Conforto was more active and efficient on the basepaths, stealing seven bags in nine attempts, matching his SB total from his first four seasons combined. There is still some platoon risk here, but Conforto has a strong skills base to prop up his floor and there may be another level to his game.
