PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- If nothing else, Matt Harvey knows how to put on a show. In his Grapefruit League debut last season, his first official game in 19 months, Harvey hit 99 mph on the radar gun during an electric performance.
"He threw one 99," manager Terry Collins recalled, laughing. "I didn't think he needed to."
Harvey may not have as much incentive to prove himself to the world on Tuesday, when he debuts against the Braves in a 1:05 p.m. ET game at Disney World, live on Gameday Audio. But there's little chance he will hold much back in his first outing since walking off the mound during the ninth inning of World Series Game 5.
