After struggling in his first two seasons in the major leagues, Dominic Smith finally found himself in 2019 and became a frequent member of the New York Mets starting lineup in 2019, mainly in left field despite being a first baseman for the majority of his career.
Prior to landing on the IL in late July, Smith was one of the best hitters the Mets had the entire season, and had a very memorable last at bat for the team in his return, hitting a walk-off 3 run home run in the final game of the season against the rival Atlanta Braves.
