Matt Harvey dominates Nationals in his first 2015 start
by Nick Ritrivi | Thu, Apr 9th 3:05pm EDT
Matt Harvey dominated in his first regular season start of 2015, and his first start coming off of Tommy John surgery after missing all of 2014. Working on a soft pitch count limitation of about 90, in six innings of work against the Nationals, Harvey yielded only four hits, one walk and struck out nine (91 pitches total). Additionally, and perhaps most importantly, through his first five innings, his fastball averaged 95.8 mph, which was the same as his average fastball velocity in 2013.
Fantasy Impact:
Any questions regarding Harvey’s health coming into this season have been answered by virtue of a dominant spring training and now this first impressive regular season start. Harvey is a top-tier SP and is back to his 2013 form already. Harvey Day will next take place at home against the Phillies this upcoming Tuesday.
