Kenta Maeda limited his third bullpen of the spring on Friday to 34 pitches as he threw alongside rehabbing lefty Ryu Hyu-jin at the Los Angeles Dodgers' training camp.
"Because I felt good throwing, I thought that's enough," said Maeda, who is trying to acclimate himself to the shorter big league rotation ahead of his first season in the majors.
In a session in which he was focused on his breaking pitches, Maeda's two-seam fastball was livelier, with better velocity and movement using the major league ball, which is slicker than that used in Nippon Professional Baseball.
