Mets’ Senga’s Velocity Drop Raises Concerns

In a Sunday outing against the San Francisco Giants, Mets left‑hander Kodai Senga pitched 5.2 innings, allowing two runs and striking out seven. While his ERA sits at 3.09, his fastball velocity slipped from an average of 97.4 mph in his last start to 96 mph early in the game and further down to the 93‑94 mph range in his final inning.

Fans and analysts note that such a dip can indicate injury risk or mechanical issues. Mets staff will be watching closely in his next start to determine if the trend continues or is a one‑off fluctuation.
