Kenta Maeda Throws Live BP Session
2 years agoMinnesota Twins right-hander Kenta Maeda (elbow) threw a live batting practice session at spring training on Sunday. Maeda reportedly felt great after the session. He didn't pitch at all in 2022 while recovering from Tommy John surgery, but he's in camp and appears to be ready for the start of the 2023 season. The 34-year-old has never relied on velocity to be successful, so he could be back to top form faster than other pitchers coming off Tommy John surgery. As long as he doesn't have any setbacks in camp, he should open the year in the Twins' starting rotation, and he has plenty of bounce-back potential for fantasy managers looking for late bargains in drafts this spring.
