Kodai Senga's Ghost Forkball with the Mets
A look at Senga's signature ghost forkball, its drop profile, and how it plays vs. MLB hitters.
Kodai Senga's ghost forkball is among the most extreme drop pitches in MLB.
Its vertical drop is elite in the splitter family, and hitters have described it as 'disappearing' on them.
In strong stretches, it yielded a BA under .150 and a 40%+ whiff rate, anchoring him in the Mets rotation.
Despite injury-related absences, the pitch has returned intact and projects to remain his primary weapon.
