LOS ANGELES — As Matt Harvey took the mound Saturday, Scott Boras, his agent, was positioned in his usual seat at Dodger Stadium, at the end of the first row just to the left of home plate. He took out a yellow legal pad and began making intricate markings that looked like math equations. He tracked every pitch, noting its velocity, its type and the result.
“It’s my own concoction, of course,” Boras said.
Boras calls it the Pitchers Pad. It helps him track a pitcher’s every move, and on Saturday he had a certain reason to pay close attention to Harvey.
