Last season, Dominic Smith stepped up to the plate 199 times for the New York Mets. Of his 56 hits, 21 went for doubles.
In a full season, Smith was well on pace to obliterate the franchise’s single-season record for two-base hits.
Set back in 1996, Bernard Gilkey had 44 doubles in one of the best offensive years any Mets player has ever had.
