(CBS Local)– New York Met Dominic Smith is only 24 years old, but it’s been a wild six years for him since he was selected 11th overall in the 2013 MLB Draft.
The California native battled through struggles in the minors and dealt with issues from sleep apnea before finally becoming a mainstay on the team.
Smith is having his best season in the bigs this year with a .300 average and more home runs in 77 games than he had all of last year. The Mets outfielder and first baseman finally feels like he belongs and it was a long time coming for him.
