It’s almost impossible to believe, but way back in 2013, the Baltimore Orioles used their first-round pick on a right-handed high school pitcher out of North Carolina named Hunter Harvey. For more than six seasons, Harvey has battled, clawed, scrapped, and rehabbed his way through injury after injury after injury, refusing to have his career defined by an exorbitant list of injuries.
One of the more common questions during spring training over the last few years has asked if that season was finally going to be the year that Hunter Harvey stays healthy and lives up to his potential.
