When will Dominic Smith finally arrive as a big league player? Clearly, his time with the New York Mets in 2018 hardly showed the makings of an everyday player.
Smith was unfairly used at times. Rather than allow him to play first base and concentrate on hitting, Smith shifted to the outfield often and barely got enough at-bats to improve. At the first signs of bad defense, he moved back to the bench.
The season ended with Smith batting .224/.255/.420 with 5 home runs and 11 RBI in 149 plate appearances. Finding anything positive to say about him would be a waste of time.
