Kodai Senga is making strides in his comeback to the Mets rotation, recently throwing 50 pitches in a controlled environment. Assistant pitching coach Desi Druschel noted Senga's perfectionist nature as both a strength and a hindrance. Despite previous shoulder and calf injuries impacting his performance, Senga's latest outing was promising, showcasing improvements in his mechanics and effective sinker pitches. The Mets coaching staff is optimistic about aligning his mechanics with his physical well-being for future success.
He's a perfectionist with everything. That's probably one of his greatest assets and it's also one of his greatest weaknesses: He wants everything to be perfect.
I think his body feels good. Now, it's 'Can we get the mechanics to sync up where he feels good with them?'
Senga's absence was extended because he was not comfortable with his mechanics as he was first coming back.
Druschel watched Senga's outing Sunday and was pleased. He pitched into the fourth inning, another positive sign, and also threw a pair of sinkers.
