Kodai Senga, a major league pitcher from the Mets, entered the bullpen for the first time at the camp and threw about 60 pitches.
Pitcher Senga, who transferred from professional baseball's Softbank to Mets in the major leagues this season, entered the bullpen for the first time on the second day of the camp in St. Port Lucy, Florida on the 16th.
While the pitching coach was watching, I made the catcher sit down and threw, and there were some balls that came out high.
On this day, he threw about 60 balls, including sliders, cut balls, and fork balls, which he is good at, and measured the fastest straight speed of 154 km.
Pitcher Senga, who was interviewed, said, "There are more balls with better numbers than in Japan, and we are hitting good balls for the bullpen."
He also clarified that his current task is to deal with the difference in the slope of the mound, saying, "I'm distracted by the part where I recognize that the slope is steep, so I want to get used to it. The finish is better than usual. The speed is fast, and I can do it without any physical problems, so I'm doing better than when I was in Japan."
