Overview

• Kodai Senga, after a successful debut season with the Mets, faces expectations to lead the rotation as their top pitcher.
• Senga aims to improve his command and reduce walks, which were a concern despite his strong performance last year.
• The pitcher is focused on enhancing his road game performance, acknowledging the challenges of adapting to MLB's extensive travel.
• Senga is experimenting with new pitches, including a better version of his signature 'ghost' forkball, to stay ahead of hitters.
• The Mets may use a six-man rotation at times, but Senga's role as a key starter is clear, with the team relying on his continued development.
