"I feel confident with where I'm at and I just feel healthy. Some pitches need a little work, but [I feel] healthy and for the most part throwing strikes, but overall, it was a good one to build off of."
"I liked the movement of his pitches. He feels really good physically. When it comes to velocity, I'm not going to make too much of the first one. I liked how he used all his pitches . . . We're not concerned."
Sean Manaea made his spring training debut for the Mets against the Marlins after missing significant time due to an oblique injury and foreign bodies in his elbow. Despite giving up a solo home run to Connor Norby in the first inning, Manaea settled in effectively, allowing just one run, one hit, and one walk while striking out one batter across three innings on 33 pitches. His fastball velocity measured at 88.1 mph, down from his 2024 average of 91.7 mph, but he was mixing in a cut fastball and felt confident about his overall health and pitch movement. Manager Carlos Mendoza expressed satisfaction with Manaea's performance and pitch usage, indicating the team is not concerned about the velocity decrease in this early spring outing.
