Michael Conforto, the Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder, has had a rough start to the 2025 season, batting just .134 with only two home runs through the first six weeks. Despite manager Dave Roberts' earlier predictions of success, Conforto's performance has raised concerns as he struggles to find his footing. He has expressed frustration with his inability to drive runs during crucial moments, yet remains determined to focus on his skills and support from teammates. The team continues to give him opportunities in hopes he can improve and contribute to the Dodgers' success this season.
This game will kick you down. It will kick you when you're down. It can be cruel, Conforto said to Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times.
I'm definitely frustrated, Conforto said. Happy with a couple hard-hit balls today. Frustrated to be in position to keep a rally going and not being able to beat that ball out.
While many MLB players deal with a rollercoaster of ups and downs throughout the year, Conforto has mostly dealt with the latter early in his Dodgers tenure.
Roberts has not demoted Conforto to the bench yet, and while many fans are wondering why, the Dodgers are still hopeful the offseason addition can turn things around.
