Follow usSeveral Major League Baseball (MLB) clubs, including the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees, have been impressed by Japanese pitcher Kodai Senga and will try to sign him.
“The Red Sox and Yankees have made contact with Kodai Senga’s representatives, sources confirm,” MLB.com’s Jon Morosi tweeted.
“Senga, 29, is not attached to posting fees or draft pick compensation, which has broadened his marketplace. (The Athletic’s) Ken Rosenthal reported the (New York) Mets and (San Diego) Padres have met with him.”
Senga pitched 22 games for the Fukuoka Softbank Hawks in 2022, winning 11 games and posting a 1.94 ERA over 144 innings.
The Japanese pitcher recorded 156 total strikeouts, a 1.056 whip, and allowed 103 hits.
Senga has an electrifying fastball, topping out at 101.9 mph this past year, featuring a splitter that has incredible movement.
