Text: Santana’s Bullpen Session

by Matthew Cerrone on February 15th, 2009 at 11:20 am

SNY’s Kevin Burkhardt sent in a text pointing out Johan Santana threw from full distance, from a mound, in only his third session of the spring.

Santana tossed 30 pitches, and said he feels ‘great.’

Burkhardt adds, “He is not 100 percent IMG00031yet, but it sure looked like he was testing it pretty good today.”

Santana says he has three more bullpen sessions, then he’ll throw a live batting practice before pitching in a game.

Burkhardt will have audio and video of Santana, as well as a one-on-one with Francisco Rodriguez, on SportsNite, which airs tonight on SNY.
