World Series 2015 Mets rookie Michael Conforto blasts two ho

NEW YORK It wont be long before Michael Confortos phone rings, and a familiar name will pop up on the screen. It might have already happened, actually.
See, Dominic Trey Sermon Jerseys Smiths a good friend. Theyve chatted from time to time over the past couple of months, including a conversation right before the World Series started. He just said, Keep going. Go get that ring, Conforto told SN the day before the series began. Hes excited. Its good to hear Ronnie Lott Jerseys from him.WORLD SERIES 2015: |
Of course Smiths going to call andcongratulate Conforto on his historic performance in Game 4 of the World Series. The 22-year-old slugger became the first rookie to hit two home runs in a World Series game since Andruw Jonesback in 1996.
Confortos friendship with Smith speaks to how unlikely Confortos World Series display really is. They were teammates this year in Cla s A Fred Warner T Shirts ball.
Yes,Conforto started the year with the Mets high-A team, St. Lucie. And he was there for a while he hit .283 with an .811 OPS in 46 games before he was promoted to Double-A Binghamton. There, he hit .312 with an .899 OPS in Jimmy Garoppolo T Shirts 45 games before he was promoted to the majors, where he hit .270 with an .841 OPS in 56 games for the Mets.
And now, hes Keena Turner Jerseys hitting multiple home runs in a World Series game.
Its been quite the ride.
It might not be long, by the way, before Smith joins him. Hes a well-regarded left-handed hitting power prospect, too. Smith wasthe 11th overall pick of the 2013 MLB draft. Take this with a grain of salt Arizona Fall League statistics dont mean much but hes batting .400 in 35 at-bats, with a .542 on-base percentage. This, after Jerry Rice Jerseys hitting .305 for St. Lucie.
Hes playing really well in the Fall League, Conforto said. Im excited about him.
You can bet that feelings mutual.
