Mets have managed to hide Dominic Smith well in left field

Dominic Smith has a chance to become more than a position-less ex-first baseman. For about a week, the New York Mets have given him opportunities to start in left field as they did for a handful of games in 2018. So far, the experiment has gone as well as it could with the limited sample size.

How limited is the sample? In 47 innings, Smith has had 7 chances to make a play. This doesn’t include groundballs that squeak through the infield or a line drive that somehow manages to avoid a leaping Amed Rosario at shortstop.
