Senga’s Velocity Drops in Mets‑Giants Game

In Sunday’s 5‑2 Mets win over the Giants, Kodai Senga allowed two runs in 5.2 innings but his velocity slid from 97.4 mph to 93‑94 mph.

After a rough 2025 that saw Senga demoted to Triple‑A, the Mets hopefuls noted a bright start to 2026, with a 3.09 ERA and seven strikeouts in a game that ended 5‑2. However, his fastball velocity fell sharply during the outing, from an opening 97.4 mph to just 93‑94 mph in the final inning, prompting concerns about possible injury or mechanical issues.
