Conforto went 2-for-3 with a solo home run off left-hander Henry Owens in Friday's Grapefruit League opener against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

The 23-year-old will need a big spring to avoid beginning the regular season back at Triple-A, but launching a homer off a lefty 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 same-side pitching, so improvement in that area will be crucial not just for his 2017 fantasy value, but for his overall future career prospects.
