Scouting Report: Michael Conforto
Chicago Cubs | LF
Overall
Summary
Michael Conforto has made a remarkable comeback with the Chicago Cubs in 2026 after a dismal 2025 season with the Los Angeles Dodgers (.199 BA). Signed to a minor league deal, Conforto has earned consistent playing time and has been one of the hottest hitters in baseball. He hit a walk-off home run against Cincinnati on May 4, his first in his 11-year career. Through mid-May, Conforto is batting .361/.467/.667 with a 1.065 OPS over 58 plate appearances. He's particularly dominant against right-handed pitching, ranking 5th among qualified hitters with a 198 wRC+. Recent performance includes going 3-for-3 with a double and home run against the Reds, and 2-for-4 with a double against the Rangers. However, he remains in a reserve/platoon role as the Cubs' backup outfielder and DH behind Moises Ballesteros.

- Exceptional performance in limited at-bats (.361 BA, 1.065 OPS)
