Michael Conforto’s season with the New York Mets may be over, but his potent left-handed swing will surely be remembered throughout the offseason and into the next MLB campaign.

With two home runs in the Mets’ 5-3 game-four loss on Saturday night, the 22-year-old Redmond native became the third youngest player with a multi-homer World Series game, the second Met with a two-homer World Series game and the youngest Met to homer in a World Series.

One of the homers was a mammoth shot into the upper deck in right field at Citi Field.

Conforto had a pair of hits in the closing game on Sunday night, a 12-inning 7-2 Kansas City Royals win to clinch the series championship four games to one.

During the series, Conforto was 5-for-15 (.333) from the plate with two HRs, four RBIs, two runs scored and 11 total bases.
