Overview
- Manager Carlos Mendoza called the 96–97 mph readings a very good sign and stressed that Senga’s outlook hinges on staying healthy.
- The right-hander’s average fastball has trended down roughly two mph since his 2023 rookie year, contributing to a .279 batting average allowed against the pitch last season.
- Senga’s recent seasons were interrupted by shoulder, calf, and hamstring issues, and he accepted a late-2025 Triple-A stint to address mechanics after a midyear downturn.
- He opened 2025 with a 1.47 ERA over 13 starts before the hamstring strain, underscoring the gap between his peak form and late-season struggles.
- He is not on Samurai Japan’s World Baseball Classic pitching staff, leaving his spring workload focused solely on the Mets.
