JUPITER, Fla. — There’s been far too much talk already about lats and obliques, two body parts no one would ever hear about if it weren’t for baseball, and especially spring training baseball.

Don’t miss Mike Puma’s text messages from spring training — he’s giving Sports+ subscribers the inside buzz on the Mets.

Yes, the Mets have the usual number of noteworthy early injuries, but let’s not let that obscure the fact that a lot of good stuff is going on in their camp.

Here are some of the most positive things happening for the team from Queens:

1. Kodai Senga was “really poppin’ ” in his spring debut, according to a scout. While that isn’t a technical term, that’s maybe the best news of a lot of positive news down here. We truly missed the ghost fork in 2024, and he only threw one in his game down here. If he’s back — and it’s back — that would be huge.
