Michael Conforto signed a one-year, $17 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers but struggled initially, hitting .175 with six home runs and a .600 OPS. Recently, he has seen improvement, transitioning to a .261 average with six hits in July. Key adjustments include a new leg kick and stance to enhance contact quality, especially against fastballs, where his expected average has risen significantly. He acknowledges ongoing work to further improve his performance.
Conforto is hitting just .175 with six home runs, 19 RBI and a .600 on-base plus slugging percentage in 229 at-bats. It's a long way from his career .251/.348/.456 slash line.
During that stretch, Conforto tallied six hits in 23 at-bats, which translates to a .261 average, while also hitting two home runs and driving in six runs.
Opened up my stance a little bit and I kind of started a little bit bigger of a leg kick just to get myself moving a little bit earlier.
I think there's still some work to do, but I think a lot of the hard work has paid off.
