6. Dominic Smith, 1B, Mets

As it currently stands, Dominic Smith looks to be the heir apparent to Lucas Duda at first base.

While he is still likely a few seasons away, Smith made great strides over the last season. Not only is Smith strong at the plate, but he also profiles as an above average defender in the future.

He has good hands and good instincts at first base, and also has pretty good range as well.

One question mark that has followed Smith is whether or not he will be able to hit for power at the big league level. His power has developed slowly in the minors, although the Mets still feel it will increase over time as he develops further.

Either way, Smith profiles as an above average future first baseman if all comes together.
