Conforto is a buy — the contact is climbing and the sample backs it

His hard-hit rate is up to 41.5%, above the league's 40%, and it has been stepping up across the sample. That matters because hard-hit rate stabilizes at 50 batted balls and he has 195, so this is a real trend, not a hot week. His expected wOBA is .332, .017 above the league average of .315, and that number has also been climbing with 314 plate appearances behind it — well past the 160 needed to trust it. His actual wOBA is .343, so the line is tracking the skill rather than running ahead of it. The strikeouts are a touch high at 25.5%, which will cost him some batting average, but the power and the on-base skills are earned. The bat is real and the results are matching it. Buy.
