Dominic David Rene Smith (born June 15, 1995), is an American professional baseball first baseman and left fielder in the New York Yankees organization.

The 3-for-5 performance signaled a turn around for Smith, who compiled a sixteen-game hitting streak to raise his batting average to .260.

[11] The hot hitting continued; Smith ended the season with a .305/.354/.417 slashline, and a career high six home runs.

[13] In 2016, Smith played for the Binghamton Mets of the Double–A Eastern League,[14] where he posted a .302 batting average with 14 home runs and 91 RBIs.

[16][17] The Mets assigned Smith to the Las Vegas 51s of the Triple–A Pacific Coast League to start the 2017 season.

[19] He made his debut that night against the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park, recording a single for his first hit off of Nick Pivetta.

He and Mets general manager Brodie Van Wagenen credited the treatment with making him more alert and productive on the field that spring.

[28] Smith made the opening day roster and split time between first base and left field in what was described as a "breakout season.

[43] Following the 2020 season, Smith was named one of the finalists for the Hank Aaron Award after registering an on-base plus slugging (OPS) of .993, tied for fourth in the National League.

[44] Writing for ESPN.com, Sam Miller named Smith the 25th-most entertaining player in baseball, describing him as "one of the most engaging people in the sport.

[48] Greg Joyce wrote in the New York Post that "Smith’s regression in 2021 clouded his future and role" with the Mets.

[49] In March 2022, he told reporters that he suffered a partially torn labrum in late May or early June 2021 but played through the injury, which affected his swing.

[47] During the 2021–22 offseason, the Mets signed Mark Canha and Starling Marte to play the corner outfield positions and Pete Alonso was again slated to be the everyday first baseman.

Smith reportedly was unhappy with his anticipated loss of playing time and the Mets discussed a trade to the San Diego Padres which ultimately fell through before the season began.

[51] At the beginning of May when active rosters were reduced in size, Smith was among the candidates for release or demotion, at which point he was batting .167 with a .490 OPS.

[54] The following day, the Mets made the decision to designate Robinson Canó for assignment and retain Smith on the active roster.

"[55] Less than two weeks later, on May 31, the Mets announced that Smith was being demoted to Triple-A Syracuse in favor of reliever Adonis Medina.

The Mets acquired first baseman Daniel Vogelbach and outfielder Tyler Naquin shortly thereafter with the expectation that they would absorb much of the playing time which otherwise would have gone to Smith.

[57] During his time on the injured list, the Mets also traded for Darin Ruf to back up Pete Alonso at first base.

Smith was designated for assignment by the Red Sox after Triston Casas returned from the injured list on August 16.
