The 23-year-old made only one Premier League start last campaign and has only been awarded one starting berth so far in the league this season, even with Diego Costa being excluded from the team before rejoining Atletico.
Alvaro Morata, by contrast, has made a flying start to life at Chelsea since moving from Real Madrid and cancelled out Antoine Griezmann's penalty opener to put the visitors level in the second half, netting for the seventh time this season.
The Spaniard squandered a glorious chance to win the game when he found himself through on goal against Jan Oblak, however. He was replaced by Batshuayi, who buried Marcos Alonso's cutback with the last kick of the game to score a fifth goal in six appearances, only three of them starts.
"For a striker scoring is very important for your confidence," added Conte, who said the Belgian's physique gave him the opportunity to add something extra from the bench.
"And for me it's important to make him understand that he is on the right path. I want this type of player, with great athleticism, to give me the possibility to make changes game by game."
Chelsea winger Eden Hazard added: "Michy scores every time he's on the field. He can score every time. I'm so happy for him."
