Matt Harvey’s season is over. A right knee ailment that has bothered him for weeks finally pushed the righty to the 60-day IL last week, ending his year and freeing up a roster spot for the pitching-starved Orioles down the stretch.
His year-end statistical line is not particularly attractive. Over 28 starts, Harvey went 6-14 with a 6.27 ERA and 95 strikeouts over 127.2 innings. All in, that was worth -0.3 WAR, according to Baseball Reference. Those numbers shouldn’t be too far off from what the O’s front office would have expected when they signed Harvey to a minor league deal with the promise of $1 million if he made the major league roster.
