• Mets' Dominic Smith: Clears fences Sunday

  13D ago • By RotoWire Staff

  Smith went 2-for-5 with a solo homer and an RBI single Sunday in the Mets' 10-5 loss to the Reds. It was the rookie's second homer of the month and fifth since his debut, and Smith is riding a five-game hit streak. The accompanying numbers, however, aren't pretty, as he's .210/.257/.390 in his first taste of big-league action (113 plate appearances). His leash will remain long as the Mets let him adjust to a full-time big-league role he'll occupy to start next season.

• Mets' Dominic Smith: Hits fourth homer in loss

  21D ago • By RotoWire Staff

  Smith went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run during Saturday's loss to Houston. Smith went 3-for-25 with three singles through seven games since his last homer, and even with Saturday's long fly, the 22-year-old first baseman still owns a discouraging .183/.213/.366 slash line through 75 plate appearances in the majors. While his long-term upside remains high, Smith probably shouldn't be counted on in many seasonal settings at this stage of the game.

• Mets' Dominic Smith: Rips third big-league homer

  30D ago • By RotoWire Staff

  Smith went 1-for-3 with a solo homer, a walk and two runs against the Diamondbacks on Wednesday. He also struck out twice. It was a three-true-outcomes day for the rookie, who's still looking to stabilize his stats -- he's hitting just .190/.227/.429 through his first 44 big-league plate appearances. Smith hit for average reliably in the minors, though (including a .330 mark at Triple-A this year), so his future in that category looks bright, and his power has been developing steadily. He may not be a major fantasy asset this year, but the 22-year-old could start producing Eric Hosmer-esque stats as soon as next season.
