2023 Fantasy Outlook
Conforto's previous winter reminded us that baseball keeps good secrets. Conforto remained a free agent deep into the winter to the surprise of many outsiders until it was revealed that Conforto needed shoulder surgery to repair his labrum and he would miss the entire season. He had surgery on his front shoulder for his lefty swing which is normally an issue for hitters who have the surgery later in the year as it impacts their ability to get full extension on the swing. Conforto had his surgery early enough that he should be fully healed form the situation and hopefully be able to resume some level of power hitting after he signed with the Giants. The power numbers from 2017 to 2019 will likely skew expectations in the marketplace for what Conforto could do whereas a more realistic expectation coming off a missed season would be 15-20 homers with another healthy dose of walks. He is more valuable in the OBP formats given he has hit above .260 in just one full season. Read Past Outlooks

Gets two-year deal with Giants
Conforto agreed Friday with the Giants on a one-year, $18 million contract, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Buster Olney of ESPN relays that Conforto's contract contains an $18 million player option for 2024. Though Conforto doesn't represent the big free-agent bat the Giants had been hoping to sign after the team had been in on Aaron Judge and Carlos Correa, among others, the 29-year-old outfielder was one of the few hitters still available who has some upside. Conforto missed the entire 2022 season following surgery on his right shoulder but is expected to enter spring training without any limitations. Conforto is going to a park which suppresses left-handed power, so this isn't a great landing spot for fantasy purposes. However, the most important thing will be just showing he's healthy again.

2015
Conforto's 2021 season was a major disappointment after he averaged nearly 30 homers the previous four seasons (prorated 2020 included). He missed some time in May and June with a hamstring injury. He wasn't exactly hitting before the injuries (.681 OPS), and the struggles (.607 OPS) continued after he returned from the IL through the end of July. From Aug. 1 on, he looked more like his old self with a .829 OPS. The season-long drop in production was a bit perplexing since he improved both his walks (10.3 BB% to 12.3 BB%) and strikeouts (24.5 K% to 21.7 K%). Compounding the issue is that he may end up on the strong side of a platoon since he can't hit lefties (career: .695 OPS vs LHP, .873 OPS vs RHP). He should be rostered with the expectation that he might need to be dropped if the playing time and/or talent does not return.
