Kodai Senga smashes Mets debut with handmade ghost glove, signature pitch.

Kodai Senga's great start for the Mets with his "ghost" fork ball wasn't the only thing that made people talk about the Japanese pitcher.

During the Mets' 5-1 win over the Marlins at loanDepot Park on Sunday, social media went crazy when people saw Senga's custom ghost-fork glove.

Senga, who is 30, gave up one run on three hits, walked three batters, and struck out eight. Seven of the eight batters he struck out were with his most dangerous pitch.

Tommy Pham, an outfielder for the Mets, said, "I could see from centre field." "And judging by their swings, it was gross. The ball was just rolling off the table."

On the outside of the webbing of Senga's special blue glove, there is a ghost holding a fork that looks like a trident. On the side, his name and number are written in orange and black as "S3NG4".

It looks like Zett made him several different pairs of gloves in blue, black, and red and black in January, but only some of them had both the ghost and the fork.

He told the world about them in a tweet that said, in Japanese, "It was too cool."

Senga, who signed a deal with the Mets this offseason worth $75 million over five years, had a rough start to his first game.

But he only gave up one run and got out of a jam with the bases full before he calmed down.

Senga told a translator, "First inning, definitely a lot of nerves." "My legs felt like a ghost. When I was in a little bit of trouble, I started to calm down and settle down."

Senga was taken out of the game after he had thrown 88 pitches and Jazz Chisholm had struck out to start the sixth.

He threw 26 forkballs all together.

His eight strikeouts tied him with Kenshin Kawakami and Masahiro Tanaka for the fourth-most by a Japanese pitcher in his first MLB start, behind Kazuhisa Ishii, Daisuke Matsuzaka, and Hideki Irabu, who all had ten (nine).

Senga said, "A lot of guys kept pushing my back and telling me I could do it. Francisco Lindor, in particular, did a great job of that."
