Michael Conforto's power shows, Giants fall short
by Chris Schommer | Giants Correspondent | Sat, Aug 24th 8:30am EDT
Michael Conforto went 1-for-5 in the Giants' narrow 6-5 loss to the Mariners, delivering a two-run home run among his at-bats.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the loss, Conforto's ability to connect for his 14th homer of the season is a silver lining for fantasy managers. However, his three strikeouts in the game and a batting average of .237 on the season highlight ongoing concerns about his consistency at the plate. With a wOBA of .326 and a BABIP of .285, Conforto's production has been modest, and while the power numbers provide some value, his high strikeout rate and low batting average limit his appeal in fantasy formats that penalize for strikeouts or highly value batting average.
