    Michael Conforto has yet to have a fan section at Citi Field named in his honor, nor can he stake claim to the hottest selling jersey in baseball.

    But without the national hype, it's gone a bit hidden that Conforto's numbers have powered closer to New York Yankees phenom Aaron Judge.

    Who's better? Well, fans can, yes, judge for themselves when the young New York sluggers try and go homer-to-homer this week in the Subway Series.

    "I look at that as kind of a distraction," Conforto said. "I'm just going to stay focused on playing the best I can, executing and not worry about all that stuff. Just go out there and try and beat him."

    Conforto and Curtis Granderson hit two-run homers to lead the New York Mets over the Philadelphia Phillies 6-2 on Sunday.
