Amazin’ outfielder Michael Conforto fields some spring training Q&A from Post columnist Steve Serby.

Q: What message would you give to Mets fans about how close you came to a title a year ago and what they can expect this year?

A: It’s absolutely not forgotten. I’m sure as vividly as they remember losing that [World] Series, we’re feeling it 10 times more. We’re going out every day with the mentality and the mindset of being motivated from that. So that’s what we’re working towards. That’s what New York deserves, that’s what the Mets fans deserve, and I think that’s what we deserve as well.

Q: Is it World Series or bust?

A: I think winning is 100 percent our mindset. I think we’re gonna take it one day at a time. I think it’s tough to look that far ahead. There’s so many things that can happen, so many trials, adversity that we’ll have to come through throughout the course of the season, it happens every single year. But I think winning is absolutely our mindset. We have the utmost confidence this year in our lineup, in our pitching, in our bullpen, in our leadership. I think top to bottom we are very, very good, so 100 percent winning, that’s our mindset.

Q: How does it feel to now be “the hunted.”

A: For us, it’s kind of the same mentality, but, of course, we’re on everybody’s radar now. I think it’s just a matter of showing up every day and working hard and getting the most out of our obviously very, very complete team.

Q: Do you enjoy being the hunted?

A: I think everyone wants to be the top dog. And, I think, you want everyone’s best shot. I think as competitive people obviously that we all are, we want to be at the top and we want to stay there, and I think that’s motivation that everyone’s gonna come after us, and you gotta be ready for it. That’ll keep us focused. We remind ourself that we’re gonna have a target on our backs, and make sure that we don’t take any days off.

Q: What is it like being Michael Conforto?

A: I don’t feel any different, in the sense of being a changed person now that I’m kind of established in this organization. It’s big for me to kind of take the same mentality I would have last year, and just show up every day with that hungry attitude. I talk to my family almost every day, and a lot of my friends back home, friends in college. … I don’t really see anything change, to be honest.

Q: Why do you enjoy playing in the New York market under the spotlight?

A: I think it’s everybody’s dream. I definitely grew up hearing about the New York sports market, and I guess it was more the Yankees when I was growing up. But I think it’s a goal for everybody in sports, and I think you see a lot of superstars come here because they want to be in the spotlight and they want to kind of enjoy that big market and how passionate the New York fans are and all that stuff. I just think it’s the most exciting place to play in all of the sport.

Q: One of your former coaches said you have the “it” factor. What does that mean?

A: I guess you’d have to ask him, but I’ve always felt like when the lights get a little brighter and the games get a little bigger, I see a lot of guys take a step up and feel comfortable in those situations, and not get too anxious or nervous. Oregon State University was huge for my development, kind of more mentally than anything, being able to play in the College World Series and those big games, games that mean so much to you at the time, and they still mean a lot to me now. I think the “it” factor would be just kind of being able to step up in big situations, being a competitive guy, and someone that’s never gonna roll over for anybody.

Q: How many guys on the Mets have the “it” factor?

A: I’d say a lot of guys. You’re gonna have to have that in order to get to where you are, playing for a team like the Mets. … I think it’s the attitude on days where maybe your stuff’s not there, maybe your swing’s not feeling great, and you can still produce for your team.

Q: Another word that’s been used to describe you is warrior.

A: I think it goes back to that “it” factor thing. You don’t back down from anybody, no matter who it is.

Q: What kind of impact do you expect to make this year?

A: I want to come in and help the team win games. I want to be a force in the lineup and a guy who drives in runs, who can get on base and maybe go first to third or take an extra base when I can. Be an energy guy, be a guy who’s always moving. Just be a guy who puts something on the table for the team every single day.

Q: Describe new second baseman Neil Walker.

A: It’s amazing how quickly he’s fit into this clubhouse. His personality meshed immediately with all the guys. Really simple swing, some really good conversations I’ve had with him just on hitting, just kind of going over the pitches he saw and what I might see, or what he knows about some pitchers that he’s faced a lot, great baseball mind and a really good guy.

Q: Noah Syndergaard.

A: It’s almost like every time I see him, I’m still surprised at how big he is. He’s looking very, very good right now. He’s one of those guys that, from left field, when you see the ball going into the catcher, it just looks different than everybody else. He’s just got that extra life, that extra zip on that fastball. And he’s not just an overpowering pitcher, he knows how to pitch as well. I think the future’s very, very bright for him.

Q: Steven Matz.

A: He’s nasty. Me and him matched up, and it was a long at-bat, I think it ended up being like a 9- or 10-pitch at-bat. There was a ball I swung through, I threw the bat over the dugout, and kind of caused a scene, everybody came over to watch, everyone was laughing. Then the next pitch, I fouled one off, broke my bat, so everyone’s laughing still. I go over and get a new bat, and he spots one up on the outside corner, probably 96 or 97 [mph], and struck me out.

Q: It sounds like the Mets have four pitchers capable of winning 20 games.

A: Absolutely. You don’t know who’s gonna be the best guy. They’re all that good.

Q: What is Yoenis Cespedes like in the batter’s box.

A: He’s kind of menacing. I can’t speak from the pitcher’s point of view, but he’s so quiet, there’s not a lot of movement pre-pitch or as the ball’s coming in. He’s so quiet, and that’s what allows him to be so consistent with all the contact he makes.

Q: Keith Hernandez said the other day the Mets should give you a whirl at first base.

A: I hadn’t heard that. I took some reps in college over at first base just for emergency-type situations. I think that’s something that’s very, very interesting, something I’d be open to, obviously. I just want to help the team.

Q: How comfortable are you getting in right field?

A: I’m feeling very comfortable. I’m getting live reads in batting practice. The big difference is knowing where to cover, backup bags, making sure you’re in the right spot. The throws are a little bit different, they’re a little bit longer from right, but I’ve always felt very, very comfortable being accurate from the outfield, and having the arm to make sure that those throws are on time and in the right spot.

Q: Facing left-handed pitchers.

A: I’d say I’m very comfortable with that as well. I think going up to the plate, there’s not a thought of, “Oh man, there’s a lefty on the mound,” or “There’s a lefty starting today.” I think it’s more excitement, especially with all that’s been made of the lefty-lefty splits and all that stuff. The opportunity to prove that I’m not one of those guys I think is an exciting opportunity and something I’m working very hard at. I definitely feel comfortable, I think it kind of balances me out a little bit.

Q: Will you borrow one of Yoenis’ cars?

A: I want to drive one of ’em, that’s for sure. I want to experience some of that. We’ll see if there’s an opportunity for that. Those things are pretty cool, all of ’em, so I hope I get a chance to just ride around with him a little bit.

Q: What will you be driving when you come north?

A: I actually just got a new Jeep, a Grand Cherokee SR-T model. I had an old Jeep, thought I’d stick with the Jeep. I enjoyed my other one so much. Nothing crazy, nothing too flashy.

Q: How will you deal with being recognized living on the Upper East Side?

A: I dealt with that a little bit last year, I was in the same apartment. It was strange, it was definitely weird. I’d just go out to go get some coffee, wearing a sweatshirt, just kind of blending in with everybody, and I had a couple of people wearing Mets gear, it was kind of around the World Series, so there was Mets gear everywhere in the city. That was definitely strange, but it’s also very, very cool in a city as big as New York is, and to be recognized by some people. It kind of gives you a sense of what you have and how fortunate you are. I take it as a good thing, and I’m excited to get back there.

Q: Do you get the sense this is now a Mets town?

A: I won’t go as far as to say that we’re taking over the city. Obviously, the Yankees will always have a huge following. But I think it makes everyone very, very excited to see the Subway Series, and you’ll see us match up against each other.

Q: What is your favorite memory from your 2004 trip to the Little League World Series?

A: There was a kid from Kentucky — he’s actually in the minor leagues now with Boston. … He was a left-handed pitcher, he was throwing 75 [mph], and I remember I think I worked a walk off of him, and I had a base hit to right field, and we ended up winning a really close game against them.

Q: Favorite memory from the 2013 College World Series?

A: I had a 4-for-4 game, but we naturally ended up losing to Mississippi State. Then there was also a catch, kind of crashing into the wall. It ended up being on “SportsCenter,” so that’s also a great memory.

Q: Favorite World Series memory?

A: It’s gotta be the two [Game 4] home runs, right? That’s something that I’ll remember forever.

Q: You’re only the third player to play in a World Series at three different levels. But no championships, right?

A: No championships. Not yet.

Q: Does that drive you?

A: Absolutely. That’s something I always think about, I’ve gotten so close so many times. Even in high school baseball, we had a great team, we were kind of unanimously ranked No. 1 and came up short in the state championship. Being the last team standing, I think that’s what everybody wants who plays the game, so definitely huge driving force.

Q: What will it be like being one of New York’s most eligible bachelors?

A: (Chuckle) That’s definitely exciting. That’s something that I didn’t really end up expecting, but I think that’s always a cool part of being in New York and having those opportunities. Being able to meet people, that’s very cool.

Q: How difficult will it be for you to root for Oregon in the NCAA Tournament, after Oregon State was eliminated Friday.

A: I will support the Pac-12. How’s that for an answer?
