Kodai Senga, barring a complete game in his final start, will finish at or just under the 170-inning cap that team officials had planned for him.
PHILADELPHIA — Kodai Senga’s final start of his rookie major league season is scheduled for Wednesday at Citi Field.
To make that to happen in a season in which the 30-year-old Senga remained healthy, extra days of rest routinely were added between the pitcher’s starts. , and potentially will be a bargain on the five-year contract worth $75 million he signed last winter.One question that will be examined this offseason by the Mets is whether to keep the same routine with Senga between starts, maintaining the extra rest, or whether a traditional approach can work for him next year.“It’s a very fluid situation,” Senga told The Post through his interpreter. “It’s not just, ‘We want you to go on four days’ rest or not.
But implementing a six-man rotation also would mean working with a shorter bullpen. It has been less noticeable for the Mets during this stretch because of the expanded September rosters.“It’s more of a mental fatigue,” he said. “Given the situation that the team is in with our playoff chance diminished and having to pitch through that kind of circumstance of not being able to make it is tougher on you mentally rather than physically.
