Dominic Smith isn’t the worst first-round pick the New York Mets have ever had. Unlike many, he actually reached the big leagues. For this, we can never call him the worst first-round pick in franchise history.
Smith does, however, carry with him the worst MLB WAR. At -1.8, he beats everyone else in being the least valuable to actually reach the majors.
Through his first 105 MLB games, Smith is hitting .210/.259/.406. With a stick in his hand, he’s below replacement level. When he’s wearing a glove, he’s apparently even worse.
