Senga's Heater: Mets Ace Unleashes 97 MPH Pitches

0:00On April 1st, Kodai Sangha kicked off his new season on a high note for the New York Metz, facing the St. Louis Cardinals on the road. He delivered six solid innings, giving up just four hits and two runs while fanning nine and issuing three walks. Despite its tough luck loss from a quiet Metz lineup, Sangha dominated the mound. What really popped was his heat. He unleashed 28 pitches clocking 97 mph or faster. For context, he only hit that mark 17 times across his entire previous campaign. Fans and analysts are buzzing because last year ended rough for Sangha, with injuries and inconsistency. The Metz needed their ace back at full strength, and this outing shows he's locked in, even if the bats let him down. Dig deeper, and his signature goes for it pairs perfectly with this amped up fastball velocity. That nasty drop off pitch could terrorize hitters when riding alongside those heaters. Early days, but Sangha's looking like the upgraded weapon the Metz crave, setting the stage for a monster year ahead.
