Kodai Senga Aims to Solidify Ace Status with Mets in 2024

After a standout debut season, Senga focuses on command and road performance improvements to lead New York's rotation.

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.
