The New York Mets are going to need Kodai Senga to perform like he did in 2023 if they have a hope of returning to the NLCS. While this was most likely the case before spring training, it certainly has become so after starters Sean Manaea and Frankie Montas went down with relatively severe injuries.

Kodai Senga took the mound for a live bullpen session during Mets spring training, firing 50 pitches with his signature intensity. The post Kodai Senga Voices Dissatisfaction Over Mechanics Despite Powering Through 50 Pitches – "Not 100% Content" appeared first on EssentiallySports.
