This year’s New York Mets minor league news hasn’t had any major story about a player making a tremendous rise. Last year, we got to see Jeff McNeil burst onto the scene. Equally as important, Pete Alonso rose up through the minor leagues with power we have never seen from a Mets player before.
The current Mets minor league system still includes some talented players. One of them is left-handed pitcher Kevin Smith who will undoubtedly catch your eye if only for sharing a namesake with the comedic director who is known for playing Silent Bob.
