Nats' Chien-Ming Wang has first bullpen session
Nationals right-hander Chien-Ming Wang had his first bullpen session of
the spring Monday afternoon.
Wang, who is recovering from shoulder surgery, threw 10 pitches on flat
ground and then 15 pitches on the mound. He was throwing pain free during
the session. In fact, according to pitching coach Steve McCatty, it appeared
Wang wanted to throw more pitches. McCatty said Wang's sinker was moving down
in the zone.
"I was happy with what he did," McCatty said. "He felt good and the ball has
that sink to it. It was very good to see. The arm slot looked good. He was
free and easy with the ball."
Wang is not expected to pitch in a big-league game until sometime in May.

Chien-Mien Wang threw in the bullpen today, his first throws off a mound
since last July. "It's time," Wang said before heading out there. He planned
on throwing just 15 pitches - all of them filmed by Taiwanese film crews -
with easy effort.
"He did well," Rizzo said. "He's throwing free and easy, no restrictions."
