Wang Feelin' Good After First Spring Outing

From Peter Abraham:
Wang’s sinker was effective — “Just like last year before he got hurt,” Jose Molina said. — and he was able to cover first base without any issue.

“I was excited to be pitching,” said Wang, who no longer considers the injury anything to worry about. “My sinker was a little up. … That is normal (for this time of the year).”
Wang recorded six outs, four in the air and two on the ground. It may not be the ratio a ground ball pitcher wants, probably due to his sinker being up, but as he said that's normal for this time year. The most important thing for a pitcher to accomplish in spring is to regain command of his pitches and stay healthy.
