Tanaka Throws A 25 Pitch Bullpen Session Today

Yankees pitcher Masahiro Tanaka threw his first bullpen session in the United States, a 25 pitch session, and all of New York is losing their mind about it. Tanaka threw in front of Yankees pitching coach Larry Rothschild and to probable Yankees backup catcher Francisco Cervelli. Tanaka threw a mixture of four seam fastballs, two seam fastballs, split finger fastballs, and sliders. Cervelli guessed that Tanaka was throwing at about 60% but everyone was happy, including Rothschild.
