New Song "Ghost Fork" Honors Mets Pitcher Kodai Senga

Mets pitcher Kodai Senga's signature pitch, the ghost forkball, now has a song named after it. In 2024, it was "OMG," a tune that became a rallying cry for the New York Mets during their impressive run to the National League Championship Series. That season, propelled by a close-knit team chemistry and former infielder Jose Iglesias's—aka Candelita's—song "OMG," the Mets captured the hearts of their fans. With Iglesias now playing for the San Diego Padres, the Mets might have found a new anthem for 2025 with the release of "Ghost Fork."
Japanese artist Yusuke Kamiji has released a new song titled "Ghost Fork," inspired by Senga's signature pitch. Although it may not unify the team like "OMG," "Ghost Fork" is expected to be a popular tune at Citi Field, especially during Senga's starts. Senga had an outstanding rookie season in 2023, posting a 2.98 ERA with 202 strikeouts in 166 1/3 innings, earning All-Star honors and finishing second in the Rookie of the Year race. Despite shoulder and calf injuries limiting him to just one regular season start in 2024, the 32-year-old righthander is healthy this spring and ready to dominate once again. As Senga prepares to unleash his ghost fork, he'll have the added excitement of hearing a song that celebrates his exceptional pitch.
