Mets See Kodai Senga Nearing Peak After Four Scoreless Against Astros

The right-hander reports full health, with one more tune-up scheduled before Opening Day.

Overview

  • Senga worked four scoreless innings against Houston, allowing three hits and one walk to a lineup close to the Astros’ projected opener.
  • His fastball reached 97.3 mph in the outing after touching 99 mph earlier in camp, sharpening the effectiveness of his ghost fork and slider.
  • Manager Carlos Mendoza said Senga is "pretty close" to peak form, likening this spring look to his strong early April 2025 stretch.
  • Across three spring appearances, Senga has logged 9 2/3 innings with a 1.86 ERA, 0.72 WHIP and 11 strikeouts.
  • Senga says staying healthy is driving his performance, and he has one more spring start planned as Juan Soto backs him as the staff’s ace if he remains on the field.
