The MLB Draft

With the 7th pick in the draft, the Mets have drafted P Matt Harvey.  Mookie Wilson represented the Mets.

…I don’t know much about college baseball.  But I have done some research on Harvey and saw the draft.

Information about Pitcher Matt Harvey:

  • Harvery pitched for the North Carolina Tar Heels and went 8-3 with a 3.09 ERA in 2009.
  • Harvey had an average of 8.47 strikeouts per 9 innings.
  • In 2008, Harvey had an ERA of 5.40.
  • Scott Boras represents Harvey.
  • Harvey throws a fastball up to 97 mph.
  • He has the ability to listen and improve, like the difference between this year and his previous season.
  • Harvey was drafted in the 3rd round by the Angels in 2007 but did not sign.
  • He has a great fastball and above average off-speed pitches.
