7 years agoNew York Mets outfielder Michael Conforto took batting practice on Tuesday, the first time he’s done so since undergoing shoulder surgery near the end of last season. Conforto advanced to this point from only hitting off a tee, to hitting soft toss. While he doesn’t quite feel 100% yet, Conforto said he is swinging pretty hard and hasn’t felt any hesitation in his shoulder. That certainly sounds great, but the fantasy community shouldn’t expect Conforto back any sooner than his projection (May 1st). Assuming he truly isn’t feeling hesitation in his shoulder, Conforto should provide immense value relative to his draft price once he returns.--John Smith
