Who will be the next MLB prospect to get called up?

Amed Rosario and Dominic Smith, New York Mets

The Las Vegas teammates have been working in the minors together the last two seasons, and they’re currently providing Pacific Coast League pitchers with headaches.

Rosario is slashing .386/.434/.505 with seven doubles, seven steals, a 7.08 percent walk rate, and a 12.39 percent strikeout rate in the first month of the season. Smith is sitting in the middle of the lineup, hitting .315/.367/.468 with six doubles, three home runs, a 7.5 percent walk rate, and a 16.67 percent strikeout rate.

Rosario’s elite glove and speed should allow him to have an immediate impact at the major league level once he’s called up, and right now, it’d be hard to say the Mets don’t have a need, with none of the Mets infielders currently hitting .250.

The one infielder most likely to keep his position if Rosario would be called up would be Asdrubal Cabrera, but he could shift to third to replace Jose Reyes quite easily.

Smith may be a guy that Mets fans are actually cheering against getting called up, as the issues with health in the outfield and at first base have left a spot for Michael Conforto to finally get a real shot to play every day, and Conforto is currently hitting .357/.427/.700 with seven home runs.

However, Smith provides a natural first baseman, and the Mets have certainly seen poor defense at the position cost their infielders multiple errors this spring already.

Rosario may be a guy to make his MLB debut first, but both he and Smith should see more than just a September call up this season.
