Kodai SengaThe absolute priority in its beginnings of training in the spring: health.
THE Put have played safely with the right -hander so far in the camp after being limited to a single departure from the regular season and to a handful of appearances in the playoffs last year while he was treating shoulder and calf injuries.
Senga has progressed well in the camp, and he was able to spend Monday release Very well, allowing only two single while throwing 31 throws (21 strikes) and hitting two on two non -purpose frames.
“It’s not always easy to get back into game mode,” said Senga via a translator. “My thought has always been to return to a match once Mars is going and I felt good, that’s what happened.
“I am very happy to have been able to get out of it in good health. There were a lot of things I wanted to try that I could do, so it was just great to be back there. »»
Senga reached a maximum of 96 MPH with its fast four-seam ball and mixed in all its throws, including its gyro-caliber and its lead, two locations on which it worked on improving this offseason.
The cursor looked particularly mean when he used it to recover his second withdrawal of the evening on a 3-2 throw in Miami Otto Lopez leading the top of the second.
The Swinker, although still under work, is a pitch that puts manager Carlos Mendoza The sensations could turn into a real weapon for senga if he can make himself comfortable to look into large places.
“It’s a dangerous terrain,” said the skipper. “It is a pitch that can provide you with ground balls if it meets right -handed strikers. He removes from his separator and his cursor if it is a terrain he can really use when he needs.
“It can handle baseball in all different ways. Whether with the separator, with the quick ball, the cursor, then adding this seam to the mixture. It’s just another weapon on which it can rely.”
With all their injuries in their rotation, the dishes absolutely need a healthy and productive senga opening the way this season – and the release of Monday evening was certainly an encouraging first step.
