Related Topics: Dominic Smith

Dominic Smith has struggled at the plate in the majors, posting a .246/.308/.424 line in 443 games and 1,373 plate appearances in the big leagues so far in his career, but he has put up a .294/.361/.429 line in 679 games 2,895 PAs in the minors.

In 2022, the 27-year-old first baseman/outfielder played just 58 games in the majors, with a .194/.276/.284 line, 10 doubles, 12 walks, and 37 Ks in 152 plate appearances, but he signed a 1-year/$2M deal with Washington this winter, and the 2013 1st Round pick (NYM) is trying to turn things around given a new start, with a different organization after he worked his way up with the New York Mets (who drafted and developed him), but struggled to establish himself in the big leagues for a variety of reasons (including Pete Alonso).
