    Kodai Senga pitched like his dominant self in his return to the mound.

    In his first Mets rehab appearance, the 31-year-old struck out six in 2 2/3 hitless innings for the High-A affiliate Brooklyn Cyclones on Wednesday night.

    The velocity on Senga’s pitches looked much as they did during his last year’s NL Rookie of the Year runner-up campaign in 2023, regularly hitting 97 with his fastball and generating whiffs with his signature forkball, cutter and curve.

    Wednesday was a particularly monumental step considering there have been a slew of setbacks during Senga’s healing process .
