The life is back in Matt Harvey’s fastball

Posted May 27, 2015
The pitches came in at 96 MPH, but as Mets pitching coach Dan Warthen observed, “There’s 96. And then there’s 96. There’s a 96 with life at the end.” And Matt Harvey’s pitches during a bullpen session before his last outing lacked that life. Manager Terry Collins speculated the righthander, who is returning from Tommy John surgery, had a “dead arm.” Hey, it happens. (New York Post)
