Mets right-hander Kodai Senga, who had a 1.47 ERA over his first 13 starts in 2025 before a hamstring strain led to a 5.90 ERA in his final nine, impressed manager Carlos Mendoza during a live batting practice session. Senga touched 96-97 mph with his fastball and threw effective sweepers. Mendoza highlighted his velocity as a "really good sign" and emphasized that Senga is working on all his pitches, with health being the primary focus for the upcoming season.
