Brilliant? Not quite. Serviceable? More than anyone expected. The Dominic Smith in left field adventure has continued this season for the New York Mets with much different results. Statistically, he has been above average in multiple areas.
He’s not about to win a Gold Glove. However, Smith has proven this year he can give the Mets multiple innings at his unnatural position without them worrying each time the ball is hit to him.
