Collins in Matt Harvey's camp

As the Mets get ready to play there first spring training game later today against the Braves, Terry Collins took some time to look at a possible future Met Matt Harvey.

Collins like the kid's frame as he watched pitch in the instructional league this past winter. According to NJ.com Harvey is working in the Step program which is just some glorified workouts for top prospects.

Harvey has not pitched in like 8 months since it took him a while to sign but he is eager to go. He showed the Mets something during his junior year in college where he went 8-3. He was tutored after really getting beaten up the year previously. His pitching coach Scott Forbes helped him speed up his tempo on the mound and he was able to repeat his delivery. 

The Mets have not decided where the kid will play yet in 2011 but more then likely he will be starting in St Lucie .
