Mack's Mets #17 organizational prospect is......

#17 1B Dominic Smith
Bats: L Throws: L
Height: 6' 0" Weight: 185 lb
Acquired: 2013 Rule 5 Draft, 1st Round, Serra High School (California)

2013: (R) .204/.298/.327, 1 HR, 7 RBI, 0 SB (0%), 7 BB, 10 K

This year's 1st round pick will slot in nicely at #17. Poor kid is still mesmerized by the fact that he's even in professional baseball. Eventually the first time jitters will pass and Smith will be begin to show us what he is really capable of. One very encouraging sign already, albeit a small sample size, is his K:BB ratio after the first two weeks with the GCL Mets. Also 4 of his 10 hits so far have been of the extra base variety. This kid has a long way to go and a lot to grow before we consider him for Top 10 consideration. Let him bask in the moment for the rest of the year before we really start to judge him a bit more when he gets assigned to Brooklyn next year.
