Mets starting pitcher Kodai Senga has lots of adjusting to do in the next six weeks. It’s one of the reasons why he decided against pitching for Japan in the upcoming World Baseball Classic, which was smart. Between living in America, playing with teammates who don’t speak his language, and the game itself, what’s the biggest adjustment he’ll need to make?
Senga toed the slab in Post St. Lucie for his first bullpen session of the spring. While it wasn’t perfect, it was probably easy for Mets pitching coach Jeremy Hefner to get excited about the hurler’s potential moving forward.
