PORT ST. LUCIE — We’ve now reached a familiar superhero trope for the Dark Knight of Flushing:
The humbling.
“There’s two kinds of players: Those who are humbled and those who will be,” Terry Collins said Monday at Tradition Field. “And Matt got humbled last year a little bit. He’s bound and determined to do it to somebody else this year.”
Can Matt Harvey regain his pitching superpowers? The answer carries clear consequences for the Mets, whose chances of securing a franchise-record third consecutive postseason appearance would improve dramatically if Harvey can pitch like he did in 2015 or, even better, 2013.
