No scoreboard velocity for Mets' Matt Harvey
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) -- The scoreboard failed to display velocity of Matt Harvey's pitches Friday during his second spring training outing for the New York Mets.
''Obviously, it's nice to go up there and throw 97 to a hundred, but you've got to figure out how to pitch and pitch with what you have that specific day,'' Harvey said. ''It's only a matter of time.''
Harvey gave up one run and two hits in three innings - a long home run by Reid Brignac.
''We've got to get Matt to pitch. The velocity will come,'' Mets manager Terry Collins said, adding Harvey's speed was slightly up. ''At the velocity he's even at now, that's going to be fine if he locates it.''
