Matt Harvey admits to having 'three-way' and sex on the diamond (VIDEO)

Remember the days when a sit down with a sports star usually meant stats and offseason training?

Well, kiss those days goodbye.

Matt Harvey appeared on the Bravo talk show "Watch What Happens: Live" on Thursday night and the New York Mets pitcher titillated hosts Connie Chung (remember her?) and Bravo reality guru Andy Cohen with naughty tidbits about his sex life.

New York's new man about town not only told the former TV news anchor about doing it on a baseball field ("in college" yawn) but admitted having having a three-way — and we're not talking about about contract discussions with Fred Wilpon and Sandy Alderson.

After claiming he uses women's deodorant, the talk actually got to baseball — or at least the locker room — when he was asked which Met had the biggest member.

"Can I plead the fifth on this one?" he asked his hosts.

No questions about Ms. Met's rack though.

Anyway, Harvey was finally quizzed on if he regretted asking to be put back into Game 5 of the World Series last year.

"Not for a second," he said.

But when Chung asked if Harvey thought Terry Collins regretted putting him back in, he said "You'd have to ask him."

Harvey's going to need a case of Lady Speed Stick after this stink fest. 

And at least Derek Jeter gave out gift bags ... probably.

Mets replace ‘Game of Thrones’ Jon Snow promo with Matt Harvey (PHOTO)

After the HBO hit show “Game of Thrones” sent the Twitter world into a frenzy Monday by including a photo of Jon Snow — a popular character who was presumably killed at the end of the last season — in a promotional tweet for their own upcoming season, the New York Mets answered with a copycat tweet of their own.

Only the Mets’ tweet features pitcher Matt Harvey in place of Snow.

APRIL. #Mets #LGM pic.twitter.com/JKoCkrtgef

And whether or not the Snow character is dead meant nothing to Mets fans who fought like the Starks and Lannisters over who should have been featured in the promo:

@Mets Cool graphic. But I feel like this should be deGrom... I am excited though. 😆😄 #LGM

@Mets It really should be @Noahsyndergaard in the photo since he is a fan of the show.

While other fans, they just wanted some more realism in their fantasy world:

@Mets why didnt you do a bloody nose pic

And, coincidentally, didn't the Mets try and kill off Harvey last season too?

Oops. SPOILER ALERT.

Matt Harvey ‘sore and swelled up,’ putting Game 5 in question: Report

Matt Harvey is still scheduled to pitch a potential Game 5 of the NLCS for the Mets, but there is still some concern about the right-hander’s availability.

Manager Terry Collins on Monday described Harvey as “sore and swelled up,” two days after the pitcher was hit by a line drive near his right shoulder in Game 1 of the NLCS, reported the New York Post.

“The big day will be (Tuesday),” Collins said, referring to Harvey’s scheduled throw day.

In the sixth inning of Saturday night’s game, Dexter Fowler hit a line drive that careened off Harvey between the elbow and the shoulder, bouncing high in the air before the pitcher completed the out.

If Harvey isn’t deemed fit to pitch a potential Game 5, the start could go to Bartolo Colon, according to Collins.

Yoenis Cespedes error turns Michael Taylor single into Little League grand slam (VIDEO)

Tuesday night's critical NL East game at Nationals Park between the Mets and Nationals got as wild as they come, starting with Washington's Michael Taylor scoring a Little League grand slam after an error by Mets centerfielder Yoenis Cespedes.

A routine comebacker up the middle off Mets pitcher Matt Harvey with the bases loaded was misplayed by a hard-charging Cespedes. The ball got by the Mets fielder and rolled all the way to the warning track while Taylor raced around the bases behind the other three runners to give the Nats a 6–1 lead.

But the Nationals and their fans' euphoria didn't last and New York eventually rallied from six runs down for an improbable 8-7 victory.

With the victory, the Mets are now six games ahead of the Nationals in the NL East race with four head-to-head games remaining between the rivals.

It looks like Jon Stewart is going out on top and he has some improbable company.

Stewart's time hosting The Daily Show is coming to an end but now the huge Mets fan will have plenty of time to watch his beloved team make a playoff run.

On Wednesday's show the New Jersey native couldn't hold back his glee:

Matt Harvey too 'jacked up' to face Nationals in loss says Mets manager

Matt Harvey came out blazing against the Nationals Monday night — and maybe a little too much so.

After his first first pitch blew by Michael Taylor at 99 miles per hour, it looked like the Mets righthander's velocity was there. The command, however, was nowhere to be seen. 

And that was Harvey's undoing in the Mets 7-2 loss to the Nationals. 

Mets Manager Terry Collins had specifically lined up their pitching rotation to have their star throw in the first game against their division rivals, only to watch him lose control early and too often.

Harvey allowed five runs in seven innings, despite consistently throwing in the mid-90s, with four of them earned. He did not receive much help from the defense behind him but he also hurt himself too, walking four batters and striking out just three.

"The fact that there's been a lot made about this road trip," Collins said later about the big series. "I think he was kind of jacked up and overthrew a little bit."

Washington scored twice in the first inning, with a hit by Danny Espinosa and a walk by Bryce Harper followed by an RBI single by Yunel Escobar. Then Harvey bounced a pitch in the dirt with Harper on second. Catcher Anthony Recker threw to second and while Escobar was tagged out in a rundown, Harper wheeled around to give Washington a 2-0 lead.

In the third inning, the Mets shoddy play continued. After Espinosa and Harper again singled and walked, Clint Robinson doubled to score both.

Then Daniel Murphy threw away a ground ball by Ian Desmond so Robinson scored too. It was his second error of the game.

After the game, the fact that Harvey retired the final 14 batters he faced after falling behind seemed a moot point.

"I couldn't really find a rhythm and find a zone," he said. "It's tough against a team like that. If you can't find, maybe you try a little bit too hard to find it right away instead of toning it down."

He added: "Unfortunately it's a big series and I needed to find it earlier and I wasn't able to do that."

Matt Harvey kisses up to Donald Trump on Instagram — then deletes post

Matt Harvey threw a Twitter ball on Thursday and got himself thrown out of the park.

The New York Mets pitcher posted and hastily deleted a fawning thank-you to Donald Trump on Instagram after golfing on the GOP presidential hopeful’s newly opened Bronx course.

“Off with some TEAMMATES!” Harvey wrote in the post. “Thanks @realdonaldtrump @donaldjtrumpjr @trumpferrypoint for a great day on the new course.”

The right-hander, in dark glasses and a polo shirt, posed with Mets catcher Kevin Plawecki, pitcher Jon Niese and bullpen catcher Eric Langill with the Trump Golf Links at Ferry Point in the background.

Harvey’s simple thank-you to The Donald came as companies from NBC to Macy’s have quickly to cut ties with Trump over his controversial remarks about Mexico sending “rapists” and other miscreants to the U.S. rather than “their best.”

After Harvey's tweet, fans blasted the Mets’ pitching ace on Twitter.

“Good, I’ve always liked de Grom better anyway,” read one tweet from @PatJoeBurke, referring to Jacob deGrom, another Mets’ pitcher.

“Matt Harvey probably doesn’t even know Donald Trump is running for president,” wrote @MylesUdland.

The PC police are everywhere.

Bartolo Colon gets Mets' Opening Day nod ahead of Harvey, deGrom: Report

The New York Mets have spent most of the offseason hyping up fans with all of their talk about their young pitching. But, despite being blessed with that abundance of young arms, the team’s Opening Day starter will be a man north of age 40.

On Monday, Terry Collins made the announcement that Bartolo Colon will start on Opening Day in Washington against the Nationals’ Max Scherzer. And the young studs, Jacob deGrom and Matt Harvey will follow.

Beyond Scherzer, Washington has not announced its rotation, but deGrom will likely face Jordan Zimmermann, and Harvey will likely oppose Stephen Strasburg in games two and three.

Colon, at 41 years, 317 days, will be the oldest Opening Day starter in franchise history, topping Tom Glavine (41 years, 7 days) for the dubious honor. This will be the 281-pound Round Mound on the Mound's seventh career Opening Day start.

If it all sounds a little strange — even in the bizarro world of Mets baseball — for the fourth best starter in a rotation to open the season — logic says that the Mets will increase attendance for the second game at Citi Field by starting Harvey, the team's ace, because the Flushing home opener will be a big draw regardless of the starter.

Harvey, the 2013 National League All-Star starting pitcher did not appear last season while recovering from Tommy John surgery, and the Opening Day start is usually awarded for a pitcher's recent body of work.

Last year, Colon was 15-13 with a 4.09 earned run average. He contributed 202 innings, his first 200-inning season since 2005, when he won the American League Cy Young Award.

“(Harvey) didn’t pitch last year,” Collins said. “It’s not a big deal. You’ve still got to pitch. If we get Matt Harvey his 30-some starts, I like our chances. ... That’s no disrespect to Matt at all. He is our ace, we know it, he knows it, I told him that he’s going to pitch a lot of big games this summer.

“You go back, and you look at what Bart did all season long, and you know what? He’s earned it,” Collins said.

Matt Harvey was trolling for Eugenie Bouchard at US Open: Report

Since Matt Harvey has apparently given up on the thought of throwing baseballs at CitiField this season, it sounds like the Mets starter decided to pitch some woo at the US Open this week — namely in the direction of tennis star Eugenie Bouchard.

The rehabbing Mets pitcher approached US Open officials about getting tickets to watch the Canadian beauty's matches, even asking them to set up a meeting between the two athletes, reported Page Six of the N.Y. Post.

Sadly, for the Met-about-town, the pretty Bouchard was knocked out of the tournament on Monday.

A rep for Harvey — who’s been linked to models including Anne V and Ashley Haas — claims Harvey wasn’t asking for the one-on-one, a representative told Page Six.

“We requested tickets for a few games,” the rep explained. “Once the requests were in, he was approached about potentially meeting her after her match. That meeting never took place.”

The persistent Harvey reportedly will be back out at the Open this weekend.

Nothing like a little tennis elbow to go with that Tommy John surgery.

Rehabbing Matt Harvey still wants 'one inning' in 2014: Report

Once again Matt Harvey said he's ready to take the next big step in his rehab and get onto the mound this season — during a game.

The Mets ace — who has been cleared begin throwing from a mound in Port St. Lucie next week for the first time since rehabbing from Tommy John surgery last October, wants a real game stint, according to the N.Y. Post.

It's a song and dance the Mets have heard from Matt Harvey before. But this time, it seems like the team's pitching headliner only wants to tap a couple of steps and hum a few bars.

“Even if it was one inning out of the bullpen, I would be happy,” Harvey said.

Harvey hasn't let go of his dream of throwing in 2014, even after general manager Sandy Alderson put the kibosh on that notion last month.

The right-hander said there are tentative plans for him to pitch in the Mets’ instructional league in September and then appear in the Arizona Fall League.

“If I’m going to pitch in Arizona, what difference does it make if I pitch there or pitch here [for the Mets]?” Harvey said.

But Alderson is likely to play it cautious with the impatient Harvey — who underwent the ligament replacement surgery on Oct. 22 of last year. Normal recovery is 10-14 months before a pitcher returns to the major leagues.

“I’m dying,” Harvey said. “When I start ramping things up and feeling I can throw full throttle and pump it up to mid-90s [mph], which I believe I am doing right now, it’s definitely going to be hard.”

Harvey’s agent, Scott Boras, recently said research on the subject points to waiting until 14-16 months after the surgery for optimal recovery.

The Mets backed off Harvey from his rehab in early June, worried that he was moving too quickly in the process. Alderson later left the open a crack, saying the earliest Harvey could return is Sept. 22 — the 11-month anniversary of his surgery. The Mets conclude the season on Sept. 28.

Harvey has made no apology for his eagerness to return this season — even if the Mets have almost no chance of making the playoffs.

“I miss being out there,” he said. “That’s the fun part. It’s tough to talk about.”

Matt Harvey spotted with new model on good arm: Report

Matt Harvey — who already has been seen with an unending stream of super models while going through rehab following Tommy John surgery last year —  was recently spotted at a Manhattan hotspot with another piece of arm candy on his good wing.

The Mets pitcher hit the Meatpacking District nightclub Up & Down, where the hard-throwing righty got cozy with Shannon Rusbuldt, according to Confidenti@l of the NY Daily News.

“After a night of lounging around inside the club, the pair was getting close outside on 14th St.,” one tipster told the gossip site.

The Mets star and the 29-year-old American model reportedly did some snuggling outside before heading their separate ways shortly after 3 a.m. Sunday morning.

Harvey is clearly sticking to his rehabbing program — at least when it comes to his model type.

Rusbuldt is a statuesque blond who closely resembles his ex-girlfriend Anne Vyalitsyna, a Victoria’s Secret regular. Rusbuldt is a New York-based runway and print model who has strutted for designers Giorgio Armani and Tory Burch.

And, hopefully not an omen for Harvey, she has also played a “goddess of death” in the History channel’s “Vikings.”

He underwent surgery to repair a partial tear of his ulnar collateral ligament in October and has been out (and about) ever since.

“It’s been a long year, a tough year,” he told a reporter last week.

At least now it looks a little better.

Matt Harvey to delay rehab, won't take mound next week: Report

The good news Mets fans have been waiting a long time for might be put on hold a little longer.

Matt Harvey will not take a mound next week as hopefully expected. The organization reportedly wants the recovering Mets pitcher to slow down his rehab and take the cautious road back.

The injured righthander will not throw off a mound Tuesday as originally planned, two team sources told the New York Daily News. 

“He’s fine,” a team source said. “It’s nothing physical, it’s just a plan to be more cautious.”

The Mets are reluctant to have their ultra-competitive pitcher come back too soon and are concerned about the recent rash of pitchers who have required a second Tommy John surgery.

“He will just go a little slower,” pitching coach Dan Warthen said.

Harvey was scheduled to get back on the mound next week as he attempts to return from the October surgical procedure. But the Mets wanted to slow down the process, to prevent a setback.

The move was made out of caution, according to the source, not because there was anything wrong with Harvey.

Harvey has been persistent about wanting to pitch in a major-league game by the end of this season. The Mets, who have said that is not their priority, are focused on getting him back for Opening Day 2015.

With the goal of pitching as soon as August and getting five to seven major-league starts in 2014, Harvey calculated that he needed to be on a mound by June 10. While the Mets have not completely ruled out Harvey pitching in 2014, it is not something they are planning on at the moment, according to the team sources.

“If something happens to him, that would just be a huge blow,” one of the sources explained.

“We just want him to take it a little slower. Nobody wants him to be less competitive, we just want to be cautious.”

Harvey is continuing his rehab at the Mets’ spring-training complex in Port St. Lucie while the team is on its 11-game road trip.

Matt Harvey wants to pitch this season and Mets might relent: Report

Matt Harvey is planning to pitch this season — and the Mets might actually be down with his quest to get back on the mound sooner than later.

Might be.

Less than three weeks away from throwing off a mound for the first time since his Oct. 22 Tommy John surgery, the rehabbing Mets righthander said Tuesday the idea of pitching for the club in August or September felt “possible.”

Harvey wants to be pitching by August, telling Sports Illustrated that coming back well ahead of the typical 12-month recovery time for Tommy John surgery will give him "peace of mind."

"Of course, I won't do it unless I'm cleared to do it," Harvey said. "But I want to pitch before the year ends. I want to make five, six, seven starts this year. I asked , 'If I want to come back in August, when do I need to start throwing off a mound?' They said June 10. So, that's what we have penciled in right now. That's the plan."

General manager Sandy Alderson said he can understand why injured players want to return early, though to him it's an "open question" whether it is counterproductive for players recovering from Tommy John surgery.

“I don’t think the original schedule has changed. He is still scheduled to go on the mound in early June,” Alderson said. “Whether he comes back this year or next will be a function of how he rehabs once he gets back on the mound. It will also be subject to the best medical information we can obtain, from our doctors and whatever other information that is out there that might shed light on what’s an appropriate recovery time.”

But a cautious Alderson will stand his ground if necessary.

"But the one thing we don't want to do is be put in a situation [where] someone, Matt or anyone else, has a setback because we've pushed a natural recovery process further than we should have," he added.

Matt Harvey involved in bar fight over a girl: Report

On Thursday, just hours before saying it's a "little alarming and a little shocking" to see himself in the gossip pages, Mets pitcher Matt Harvey might have already known this juicy tidbit was making its way to the tabloids.

Harvey— who at an MLB event insisted, “I live my life” — narrowly avoided being drawn into a 2:30 a.m. brawl at a Manhattan hot spot earlier that same Thursday morning.

The Mets ace was with a group at the trendy Manhattan lounge, The Gilded Lily, when a fight broke out over a girl, reported Page Six of the N.Y. Post.

The gossip site said a friend of Harvey was involved in the fracas, but the pitcher — who was due at the MLB Man Cave a few hours later — stepped away from the melee and left.

A witness said, “Matt was there with friends when a fight broke out over a girl between someone in his group and another group at a nearby table. Matt was right there. Somebody lunged at him and his group, he stepped aside and left. Security broke things up.”

Hours later, Harvey, looking remarkably well rested, appeared at the MLB Fan Cave, where he addressed the controversy over his off-field activities and how it's treated by the media.

Harvey's rep said of the lounge fight, “It was an unfortunate incident. He was in the wrong place at the wrong time.”

A Mets rep added, “Matt was not involved in any altercation. Those who were, were escorted out of the venue.”

Matt Harvey rehabs with model Asha Leo at Knicks game (PHOTO)

Maybe Matt Harvey does have this rehab stuff down pat.

The Mets ace — who said he intends to return to the mound this season after Tommy John surgery —was spotted at Sunday’s Knicks game alongside British fashion model Asha Leo, reported Page Six of The New York Post.

Although the Mets aren't taking any chances on Harvey pushing an early return, the All-Star believes he can come back in 2014.

But apparently, when it comes to healing from his recent breakup with model Anne V, there is no such time frame and Harvey took full advantage of that with a new lady on his valuable arm.

Next to Tracy Morgan and Phil Collins.

Harvey wasn’t in violation of his rehab agreement with general manager Sandy Alderson, according to a team spokesman.

Under that agreement, Harvey can rehab with the Mets when they are home, but must work out at their spring-training complex in Port St. Lucie, Fla., when the team is on the road. The Mets are six games into a nine-game road trip.

Even so, Sundays are off days for all rehabbing players and that's where his new flame pitched in. 

Harvey flew to New York after his Saturday workout, according to a source, and will resume rehabbing in Port St. Lucie on Monday.

Sundays just got a lot better for Harvey.

Matt Harvey declares himself 'ahead of schedule' after Tommy John surgery

Matt Harvey made his first pubic comments since having arm surgery six days ago and, with a robotic brace on his right arm and his easier-on-the-eyes girlfriend, Anne Vyalitsyna, clutching his left, declared himself "ahead of schedule" after undergoing the Tommy John procedure.

The couple walked down the "blue carpet" outside the renovated Madison Square Garden Monday night for the New York Rangers home opener. But the Mets righthander knew the spotlight was focused on his valuable arm.

“I am just doing range of motion stuff now, but today was the first day I could take the bandages off and I was at (Hospital for Special Surgery) working and everybody thinks I am ahead of schedule," Harvey told the N.Y. Daily News.

 “We were able to straighten it today and I think they were surprised I could do that, already.“So the rehab is ahead of schedule,” said Harvey, a big Rangers fan and a regular at the Blueshirts games.

That is the first good news from Harvey since Aug. 24, when he was diagnosed with a partially torn ulnar collateral ligament. The pitcher took his time exploring his options before committing to surgery, which generally takes a year to recover from. After talking to other pitchers who had suffered similar injuries, most notably Roy Halladay, he began a program to strengthen the muscles around the tendon to try and throw with the partial tear.

He never got as far as the throwing portion of the program before he decided on having the surgery. Harvey admitted Monday night it was a “tough” situation for him.

“Before I decided to go with surgery, I wanted to make sure I was mentally prepared, just fully committed in my decision,” Harvey said. “My mom was down there during the surgery. The last time I was in the hospital was when I was born. This was definitely a tough decision and I wanted to make sure everything was perfect.”

But Mets fans should not get their hopes up for Harvey's return next season. Team sources have said they are not prepared to let their ace pitch in 2014. But last night's optimism is a good sign for 2015.

12 year-old calls plays from Mets broadcast booth like an old pro (VIDEO)

If that voice you heard calling plays the New York Mets broadcast booth Wednesday night didn't sound like SNY regulars Keith Hernandez, Ron Darling or Gary Cohen — you are correct.

The new play-by-play announcer was no veteran but a "kidcaster" who had practiced in front of a basement TV in his Long Island home before his big moment.

Twelve-year-old Johnny Gadamowitz may have sounded like an old pro and knew Mets history, when he took the mic just as pitcher Matt Harvey came up to bat against the Colorado Rockies, but he was just filling in at Citi Field as a contest winner.

"I wish he could get in some more wins," he said of the starter Harvey. "He gets too many no decisions."

For five minutes during the bottom of the second inning, Johnny called the plays with the Mets' regular broadcasters and both Cohen and Hernandez were impressed the boy's memory and joked that he could take over for them.

 Young Johnny won the gig with an essay in the annual kidcaster contest held by SportsNet New York, the TV home of the Mets.

In a 100-word essay on what he most enjoyed about watching the Mets, Johnny said it was being with his grandfather — a Mets fan ever since the Dodgers left Brooklyn. It was in front of the television, many times with his grandfather, that Johnny decided he wanted to get into the sports and media field.

"When I was doing the play by play, it was a really fun experience," he said of his exhilarating stint in the broadcast booth, "but I was at the same time trying to think of stuff to say so there wasn't any dead space."

Ah, dead space — the bane of all broadcasts.

Matt Harvey clears up Derek comparison: 'I wanted to be like Jeter in good ways'

Matt Harvey unintentionally opened up a real can of worms when excerpts from a Men's Journal article yesterday quoted the Mets pitcher saying — even with his own movie star looks and beautiful girlfriend — he admired Derek Jeter and wanted to be more like the Yankees star, among other pronouncements.

“That guy is the model,” Harvey said in the article. “I mean, first off, let’s just look at the women he’s dated. Obviously, he goes out – he’s meeting these girls somewhere – but you never hear about it. That’s where I want to be.”

Well, something about that did not sit well with Harvey — and probably not with his steady girlfriend Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Anne V either — and today, the New York Mets All-Star pitcher tweeted, “It really sucks how words get used and completely taken out of context.”

It really sucks how words get used and completely taken out of context.
— Matt Harvey (@MattHarvey33) July 18, 2013

Harvey tried to clarify his words.

“I said I wanted to be like Jeter in good ways," he told The New York Daily News. "I used an example of how he probably goes out, but you never hear anything bad.

“I love watching Jeter because he played hard every single night and was a winner. When I moved to NYC, the respect for him grew, because I realized what the media was like.  And for him, he always stayed out of the bad media, making him a leader on and off the field.”

 And it's bad to be like Jeter in what ways?

So apparently it's not all about handing out morning-after autographed, swag bags to a conga-line of beautiful models and actresses that Harvey wants to emulate — it’s the winning play, and ability to handle the media spotlight in New York.

There really doesn’t seem to be any need to worry about Harvey’s focus says Mets manager Terry Collins. 

Collins loves the young man’s focus and drive, and sees nothing different about his rising star in recent months.  As the world has asked more of Harvey, he has enjoyed the spotlight, but not at the expense of his job.

“No,” he said, quick and definitive, when asked this week if he was worried about Harvey’s focus.  “He’s a great kid.”

Again. It's bad to be like Jeter in what ways?

Robinson Cano leaves All-Star Game after getting hit by Matt Harvey pitch (VIDEO)

New York Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano exited Tuesday night's All-Star Game in the first inning after being hit in the right leg by a 97 mph Matt Harvey fastball. He stayed in to run the bases but left one batter later. Here's the pitch:

Cano went to the clubhouse with the trainer. X-rays were negative and early reports say the Yankees star was hit in the quadriceps and not his knee — and he should be fine.

Yankee fans said "Whew!" “@Ken_Rosenthal: Told Cano got hit more in the quadriceps than the knee - and that he should be fine.”
— Sweeny Murti (@YankeesWFAN) July 17, 2013

Harvey was just as upset as Yankees fans about seeing his cross-town rival leave the game.

"I obviously feel terrible about hitting him," the Mets pitcher said. "That's the last thing you want to do in a game like this."

Cano came into the All-Star Game after playing every one of the Yankees 95 games this season — hitting .302/.386/.531 (150 OPS+) with 21 home runs. He has been the one constant in their lineup as Derek Jeter (ankle), Alex Rodriguez (hip), Mark Teixeira (wrist) and Curtis Granderson (hand) have spent most of the year on the DL.

Matt Harvey bares all in ESPN The Body Issue

Opposing batters have been undressed at the plate all season long by Mets phenom Matt Harvey.  Now the tables sort of get turned as the flame-throwing righthander bares all for the the 2013 edition of ESPN's The Body Issue.

Harvey shows off the form that’s made him the ace of the Mets staff and an All-Star at Citi Field's big game next week in the magazine’s fifth annual body issue.

ESPN released some shots of Harvey in the issue that will hit the newsstands Friday.

The 24-year-old Harvey is starting to get a lot of national exposure but you can bet he didn't expect this much at the beginning of the season.
