Mets welcome Kodai Senga to the now five-man pitching rotation and learn more about his possible production and personality as time goes on.
In an effort to get a jump on understanding Senga, pitching coach Jeremy Hefner, bullpen coach Dom Chiti and director of pitching development Eric Jagers traveled to Seattle within the last two weeks to watch the right-hander throw and to begin building a rapport with him.
Japan’s Kodai Senga delivers a pitch in the sixth inning against the United States during the gold medal game of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.Senga was accustomed to pitching once a week on a regular day, as is the protocol in Japan, and throwing 135-140 pitches in each outing. He will now face less predictability as part of a five-man rotation in which the ceiling is generally 100 pitches.
“We can’t really predict how he is going to respond, we can only continue to build that relationship with him and how he’s feeling and what he needs.”Manager Buck Showalter, with an eye on every detail, said the staff locker room at Citi Field — which was previously beside his office — will be moved closer to the clubhouse in part to ensure Senga’s interpreter can be nearer the pitcher’s locker.
