Senga's Velocity Drop Raises Concern for Mets

Despite pitching 5.2 innings with two runs allowed and seven strikeouts against the San Francisco Giants, Senga's velocity decreased from his previous start. His fastball went from averaging 97.4 mph to starting at 96 mph and ending in the 93-94 mph range.

Velocity can be an important indicator of potential injury or mechanical issues. The Mets will need to monitor Senga's velocity closely in his next start to determine if this is a concerning trend or just a one-time occurrence.
