Major League Baseball's Mets pitcher Kodai Senga practiced pitching in the bullpen for the first time during the camp, and made adjustments by throwing 24 pitches while the new manager watched.
Pitcher Senga, who is in his second year in the major leagues, entered the bullpen for the first time on the 16th, on the third day of training camp in Port St. Lucie, Florida.
In the bullpen, under the watchful eye of new manager Mendoza, who took over from Yankees coach to Mets manager this season, he threw 24 pitches, checking the landing of his feet and the way he swung his arms, as well as throwing his favorite forks as well as fastballs and cut balls. I was throwing in.
There is a possibility that Chiga will be the starting pitcher, but after watching practice, Coach Mendoza said, ``It's still early in camp, and he's working on building his body as a pitcher. So far, he's been doing well.'' He seemed to have confidence in the right-hander, who led the team with 12 wins last season.
Pitcher Shintaro Fujinami, who was transferred to the Mets this season, warmed up on the field with pitcher Chiga, and then continued to make adjustments by playing catch and practicing defense.
