Matt Harvey's college experience offers hope for Philadelphia Phillies prospects

Posted May 8, 2015
Matt Harvey was on his way out of the Mets clubhouse Wednesday when he stopped to consider the consequences of the choice that changed his life and career. Instead of signing with the Angels, Harvey decided to go to the University of North Carolina. He spent three years at Chapel Hill, developing as much as a man as he did as a pitcher, providing the perfect template for what the Phillies want to accomplish as they restock their farm system's pitching supply.
