Last night the New York Yankees pitching coach Matt Blake sounded off on the status of all the Yankee pitchers. Meredeth Marakovitz was most interested in the status of Yankee starting pitcher Masahiro Tanaka. She asked if he pitched a bullpen session, and if so how did it go? Blake responded that he did, and it went better than we expected with 30 pitches with a higher intensity than we expected.
Pitching coach Matt Blake added that he was around 88, 91mph, and he saw he saw all his pitches, so it was really encouraging.
