Kodai Senga’s Velocity Drop Raises Concerns

In Sunday’s matchup with the Giants, Senga threw 5.2 innings, allowing two runs and striking out seven. However, his velocity dropped from an average of 97.4 mph in his previous outing to 96 mph and then 93‑94 mph in the final frame, raising questions about potential injury or mechanical issues.

While his ERA sits at 3.09 and his early innings were scoreless, the trend could signal a warning sign. Mets officials and analysts will likely keep a close eye on his performance in the next start.
