Mets RHP Matt Harvey was charged with two runs in 3 1/3 innings Wednesday against the Marlins. He tossed 67 pitches, gave up five hits, walked one batter, struck out three and was hit on the back of his leg by a line drive.
His fastball reportedly sat between 92 and 95 mph and his slider was clocked at 87 mph."I think it's still early," Harvey said, when asked after the game about his velocity. "The velocity will come in time. I just need to push forward."
Nevertheless, according to Newsday's Marc Carig, pitching coach Dan Warthen said after the game that it's possible Harvey could end up throwing at this velocity through at least May, if not all season, since the effects of last year's surgery for Thoracic Outlet Syndrome are not yet known.
