Overview
- Senga told reporters his objective for camp is "To not get injured," a remark shared by SNY as pitchers and catchers reported in Port St. Lucie.
- He said the past two seasons were "frustrating and tough mentally" and that he must first prove to himself he can handle a full season.
- Team president David Stearns has questioned Senga’s durability, with the Mets exploring trade possibilities over the winter before keeping him to compete for a rotation spot.
- After a 1.47 ERA through 13 starts in 2025, a hamstring strain preceded a downturn that ended with an accepted September assignment to Triple-A; his 2024 workload was also severely limited by injuries.
- Senga, who re-evaluated his mechanics over the offseason, still offers frontline upside when right, as shown by his 2023 All-Star season and his acclaimed 'ghost fork' putaway pitch.
