According to ESPN, Johan Santana threw 36 pitches to batters and he says he feels great.

"I pitched today with no problems in my elbow or my arm or anything, so I am fine, and at the same time I was working on my pitches and I was able to command it, so that's what you want to see," Santana said.

Santana worked mainly on his fastball with some off-speed pitches........

"For being my first time facing hitters, I think it was pretty good," Santana said. "Everything was there -- breaking ball was there, my changeup was there, my arm speed, my legs are there. That's what you are looking for. You look for your legs to be there and to feel comfortable, and that's how I felt."

"We'll go one step at a time," Santana said. "We will see how it is tomorrow and see what my next step will be. I felt pretty good, and we'll go from there."
