Casey Sadler Throws To Live Hitters
2 years agoSeattle Mariners right-hander Casey Sadler (shoulder) threw to live hitters for the first time in camp on Friday after coming off surgery. It was a big step, but Sadler still has a ways to go before he is pitching in big-league games. He wasn't throwing at full intensity and hitters were told to just track pitches and not swing. The 32-year-old reliever is currently on a team-record streak of 29 straight appearances without allowing a run. Sadler won't be rushed. He can start the season in the minors before working his way up to a potentially big part of Seattle's bullpen. Sadler didn't pitch at all in 2022 but had a 0.67 ERA in 40 1/3 inning of work in 2021. It remains to be seen when he'll be ready for the M's this year, but when he's back, he'll be an option in holds leagues.
