Kodai Senga, a Japanese pitcher for the Mets, is set to make his season debut on Tuesday. His spring training performances have been well received, with his velocity reaching new heights and sharp secondary pitches. Despite a second-half slump, Sengas was demoted to a minor league assignment and pitched the final month for Triple-A Syracuse. This spring, he pitched to a 1.86 ERA in his three Grapefruit League appearances with 11 strikeouts in 9 ¼/₃ innings. Manager Carlos Mendoza has been consistent in his praise of SengA since his first start this spring.
