Super-agent Scott Boras believes in the Dark Knight for many reasons, but one of the biggest is that his client Matt Harvey is in the same tough spot that another of his star pitchers was at this time last year in his comeback from Tommy John surgery.
That would be Stephen Strasburg, who now owns a 7-0 mark and 2.80 ERA.
A year ago, Strasburg’s numbers were worse than Harvey’s numbers are now. In May 2015, Strasburg was 1-3 with a 10.13 ERA, having surrendered 20 runs (18 earned) over 16 innings.
“The great thing we know is Matt is healthy and he is in great shape and he is strong,’’ Boras told The Post on Friday.
