The seventh overall pick in the 2010 draft, Matt Harvey is a tall righthander from Mystic, Connecticut who pitched his college ball at UNC, where a few tweaks to his high-school delivery paid off with extra cheese on his fastball. He can dial that smooth, easy heat up to 98mph and has a propensity for throwing ground balls. That's a nice prescription for a major league opportunity. His command is spotty, which has slowed his progression, but it's nothing out of the norm for such a young, high-upside arm. He should move quickly through the rest of the pitching-poor Mets system, and it wouldn't be a shock to see him in Flushing sometime in 2012.
