Game 2 of the NLDS between the Mets and Dodgers is in the offing (NYM-LAD preview), and rookie outfielder Michael Conforto, who is batting seventh for the Mets in Game 2, is looking primed to make a difference. For evidence of that bold claim, have a look at Conforto on Saturday hitting a ball out of Dodger Stadium during batting practice ...

Well struck, that ball.
Conforto, 22, slugged .506 and and tallied 23 extra-base hits in 56 games. As well, Conforto's average fly-ball distance of 287 feet ranked in the top half of all hitters. He's got some pop, you see.
Speaking of Mets doing harm in BP, know that on Friday Lucas Duda took a bite out of Dodger Stadium ...
Lucas Duda is breaking things. During BP he hit a HR off this sign in RF, it broke the "R" off of it. Seriously! pic.twitter.com/T6f8yxheRP

The Mets in LA? Doing harm. Harm, doing.
