Dominic Smith was originally drafted 11th overall in the 2013 MLB Amateur Draft out of high school by the New York Mets. Smith made his major league debut 4 years later on August 11th, 2017 against the Philadelphia Phillies. Smith finished the game with his first major league hit in 3 at-bats.
Smith, a first baseman, does not have a clear spot on the team right due to slugging first baseman Pete Alonso. Alonso exploded onto the scene this year and took over the first base job as Smith was pushed to the bench.
