Last night before all the craziness and joy of the Mets bringing back Yoenis Cespedes, MLB Pipeline announced their Top 10 first base prospects. Mets prospect Dominic Smith came in at #3 after the Astros A.J. Reed (former Mets draft pick) and the Pirates Josh Bell.

Smith is coming off a great season in which he was the Florida State League Most Valuable Player after hitting .305/.354/.417 with a league leading 33 doubles and 79 RBI.

Here is a quote from the article:

With his excellent hand-eye coordination and mature approach, he barrels balls repeatedly and shows promising power during batting practice.

Dominic was also recently named to the Minor League All-Defensive team by MLB Pipeline, he had a great regular season and Arizona Fall League season with the glove. The 20-year old will begin the 2016 season in AA with the Binghamton Mets where we should see more power from him in a better hitters league and park.

He ended the season as the #92 prospect in baseball according to MLB Pipeline but I think he will be higher when they release the new top 100 on January 29th.

    I like this guy-The Real Smith22. A solid all around player- A $$$ RBI bat without a lot of HR. A Keith Hernandez type of player. Continues to hit well in the advanced AFL at a very young age. MVP amongst a bunch of players in a league has a special ring to it.
