Conforto went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's Grapefruit League opener against the Red Sox.
The 23-year-old will need a big spring to avoid beginning the regular season back at Triple-A, but launching a homer in his first game is a great way to get the front office's attention. Conforto has hit just .129/.191/.145 in 62 big league at-bats against left-handed pitchers, but his second hit Friday was a single off lefty Henry Owens. Improvement in that area will be crucial not just for his 2017 fantasy value, but for his overall future career prospects.
