Mets' Matt Harvey: Throws in camp contest

Harvey threw 64 pitches (35 strikes) in a camp game Friday, Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News reports.

Analysis:

Despite mixed results during recent spring action, the right-hander has been topping out in the high-90s lately and has shown his old devastating movement on his breaking pitches. With what seemingly was an extended spring training tune-up in the books, Harvey appears set for the third game of the regular season, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports, so this keeps him on schedule for the April 6 outing. Harvey's recovery from thoracic outlet syndrome has experienced its ups and downs, but the high-risk, high-reward 28-year-old has starkly reminded us of how good the positives can be.
