Michael Conforto DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Michael Conforto went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a single in Tuesday's 9-5 win over the Cleveland Guardians. The Seattle native also walked and struck out in the contest. Conforto homered off Guardians pitcher Hunter Gaddis in the top of the sixth inning to increase LA's lead to 5-3 -- a 406-foot bomb that left the bat at 105.9 MPH. It was his third long ball of the season, and first since Apr. 5. The Oregon State product was abysmal in April (.123), and hasn't been much better in May (.194). Since kicking off 2025 with a .368 through the first six games, he hasn't eclipsed the .200 mark since Apr. 19.

Entering Sunday's action, only six outfielders with at least 100 plate appearances had produced a lower wRC+ than Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Michael Conforto's mark of 63. In addition, all his batted-ball metrics from a year ago are down. Conforto went 8-for-26 with two home runs and four doubles in his first eight games, but he's hit into as many double plays as he's gotten hits (six) since then. The Dodgers signed Conforto for $17 million in the offseason, so they are incentivized to keep giving him chances. Manager Dave Roberts thinks the 32-year-old has been pressing at the plate. Conforto struck out two more times in Sunday's loss to the Atlanta Braves, and his OPS is down to .528 after going hitless in his last 29 at-bats. The Dodgers have the luxury of being patient with Conforto, but it doesn't mean he won't find himself on the bench soon enough.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Michael Conforto went 2-for-2 with a homer, two walks, an RBI, and three runs scored on Wednesday in a 6-5 win over the Braves. This was his first home run and first multi-hit game of the season, and he is now slashing .368/.500/.737 through 24 plate appearances. He batted in the cleanup spot in this game against a right-handed pitcher, following the great trio of Ohtani, Betts, and Hernandez. He should see plenty of RBI opportunities hitting behind the Dodgers' plethora of elite hitters, even if he takes a spot on the bench some days when a left-handed starter is on the mound. He launched 20 homers with 66 RBI for the Giants last season, two numbers he should be able to improve upon now that he is in a better park and a better lineup.
