Smith, 22, is hitting .316/.367/.463 with seven home runs and 41 RBI through 67 games for Triple-A Las Vegas.

Smith has hit over .300 in each of the past three seasons in the minors, though he does not yet have standout power for a first baseman. With Lucas Duda currently jacking dingers at the big-league level, Smith will remain at Triple-A for the time being. That being said, Duda will be a free agent after this season, so Smith could end up as the starting first baseman for the Mets as early as the beginning of 2018, or even sooner if the team has a fire sale at the trade deadline.
