DRAFT TRACKER: Follow live
The "book" on Conforto is that his defense in the outfield is weak and he can only play left field. Therefore, he has to really, really hit.

Conforto fits the #Mets' desired profile: power and patience. He set the Oregon State record for walks in a season with 55.

One more Conforto note: his mom is a two-time Olympic gold medalist in synchronized swimming, and his dad is a former PSU football player.
