Craig Kimberl made his first appearance while competing for a spot in the New York Met's bullpen. The 37-year-old veteran reliever pitched one inning during a loss to the Washington Nationals on Saturday. He faced some early trouble, but managed to limit the damage. Kimberl started rough with a double, followed by a ground out in sacrifice fly that led in a run. He then issued two walks with two outs, but settled in with a fly out to end the inning without more runs scoring. Kimberl felt good about the outing overall, though frustrated by those walks. Met's manager Carlos Mendoza saw positive signs too, noting fastballs up to 93 miles per hour with good life, plus solid shape on the re. Breaking ball. A big highlight was Kimberl, debuting a new cutter pitch he's been working on for weeks. He plans to mix it in to keep hitters off his fastball and create better chances with off-speed stuff. It's still early in spring
