KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Matt Harvey calls it an “out of body experience,” though he’s not quite sure that’s exactly right either. Regardless of the precise sensation, the point he’s trying to make is clear.
There are times when the Mets ace takes the mound and something happens to him. He can’t explain it. But there is no doubt that he senses it.
For example, in the World Series he swears that as he jogged from the mound to the dugout late in games, he thought he was floating. It happened in 2013, when he barely could make his warmup tosses before the All-Star Game at Citi Field.
