The Heartbreaking Tragedy of Matt Harvey 

It got messed up on the reupload, but if you like the video, please subscribe. It's free and helps me out a ton. Also, check out Kofie's links in the description, he did such a good job with his part.

I am Forever grateful to Matt Harvey. He gave his arm and career for 2015

Die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain

Seeing Harvey pitch his heart out in that game 5 gave me so much hope that was later dashed in the 9th. The electricity he brought only compared to Jacob deGrom in 2021, at least in my opinion.

Giraffe neck doing cut away commentary like a seasoned vet is absolutely fantastic.

i swear as a mets STAN not many moments get me more hyped than 12:30 seeing him scream like that ALWAYS gives me chills

The Harvey's Better chant and that World Series start through 8 innings always give me goosebumps as a lifelong Mets fan. Great video! Even though watching the Duda "throw" to home felt like getting hit by a bus.

Recently found this channel and I was an instant fan. Feels like it falls right in the sweet spot somewhere between Foolish Baseball and Baseball Doesn’t Exist

Was at that World Series game in the nosebleeds. Even tho they lost in heartbreak like they always do I’ll never forget it. I truly thought I’d never see the Mets in a World Series in my life let alone win one maybe. I appreciate him and Noah for giving their all to the team. However my favorite pitcher on that team was far and away pre cy young DeGrom I just feel like he always pitched well in big moments. Also nice play in CF man lol

0:55 That Degrom and Noah look 😭😭

Dark Knight is a great nickname for a pitcher. Great video on a player I wasn’t familiar with today! One other thing: A video ago, I mentioned how the 91 Brewers came back from 17 games to finish over .500. Well the inverse, the most games over .500 in a season at one point by a team that ended with a losing record: The 1905 Cleveland Naps (what the Guardians were called back then) went from 52-29 to an outright losing record after Nap Lajoie got blood poisoning while sliding into second base. That’s falling off from having been 23 games over .500.

Game 1 of the 2015 NLCS is still the best pitching performance I've seen live. Never saw a baseball stadium walk out chanting one guys name.

another banger, loved bringing in kofie and marc.

Was that a cheeky halo 1 drum run I heard? Sheesh. 2015 Harvey & halo 1 soundtrack?? My nostalgia is off the charts today

As a Mets fan, this just brings back even more trauma, what could've been if he was pulled after that one batter in Game 5...

I completely forgot about the back to back years where the Mets chocked away division leads to the Phillies...thanks

Definitely going to miss The Dark Knight. Thanks ATB!

Throathic outlet syndrome is hard core. The surgery is crazy. Props to anyone who even tries to pitch past that.

Marc lookin like a former superstar actor in a documentary in his later years w/that laid back stance... all that was a missing was a cig lol

Harvey Degrom Syndagaard Only the Mets could screw that up

You’re a legend for using Song Cry in the background

Matt Harvey will always be The Dark Knight...💪💪💪

That 2015 World Series was hard for my family. Half my family from KC and half from NYC queens sooooooooo yeah, it was tense and a ton of trash talk.

this is the best baseball channel simply for using keem beats for the background

His downfall was pretty incredible to watch. I remember seeing him pumping 99mph in the 9th inning of a CG shutout back in 2013 or 2014 I believe in Atlanta. Was 100 degrees. Day game. Unhitable. But yeah, the combination of TOS, perhaps his workload and especially the drugs took their toll.

Good look man, nothing goes together quite like the mets and misery

Outstanding job

Wesley’s Theory 🔥

Man those few years when he was a beast he was so fun to watch.

I remember when he was consistently throwing 101-102MPH

This is a high quality video! Nice job.

Fun Fact- In 2009, I get home from a College practice and met a young Matt Harvey at my mailbox. Tired of another party being thrown at my house, we talked baseball a bit and upcoming draft for both of us, gave him my room for the night…then left and stayed at my girlfriends. This was a VERY different Matt Harvey. He was the childhood friend of my nerd roommate who was all-in on North Carolina. Not the future sex symbol ace of NY. Was not surprised to hear that cocaine might’ve played a role ha. He gave NY his ALL…tho, so for that I admire him. Hope he liked my bed.

Babe, wake up, And That's Baseball just dropped a new banger

this video was fantastic. I'm a cardinals fan, but harvey was my favorite pitcher back in the day.

Another great vid 👍🏻

The Metsiest Mets thing ever is to take any joy out of my adopted hometown team winning the WS. I am a dye-in-the-wool-life-long Mets fan who lives in...Kansas City... I adopted the Royals as my hometown team when I moved to Kansas City. What could possibly go wrong? If the Mets didn't win the 2015 World Series, it was going to be what every year since has been: dropping shoes and what-ifs. If the Royals didn't win, it would have been a cosmic-level injustice. -- After the 2014 WS, Royals fans, myself included, wanted a parade for the AL Champs that just LOST the WS because of what they accomplished and gave to KC. The energy coming off of 2014 was Championship-or-Bust, but there was no trace of the "other shoe-itis" that plagues Mets fans. In my opinion, the Royals were never going to be denied the Crown in 2015. It didn't matter what stood in their way. If the Mets won Game 5, there is a legitimate argument for Harvey being in the discussion for 2015 WS MVP--even if the Royals still went on to win.

Great video!

“EVERYONE WAS THERE”

I still love him

The thing about Matt Harvey is fans hold these players up to standards no one could live up to. The fans make these players, who after all of are just guys like any other, into statues. Because from the right distance a statue is perfect and invincible, which is what fans demand their favorite players be. They put them on that pedestal because guys like Matt did for a living something that most people would sacrifice everything for just to do for one at bat. And they put them on that pedestal because that means they get to tear them down, and from their heights the fall is so far, and so destructive, and there's nothing left but rubble, then gloat and smugly ask "What Went Wrong?" The answer is us. Every time.

Song Cry is so fitting for the video excellent choice

Mets fans would say "Happy Harvey Day" when Harvey would start for the Mets, especially at Citi Field.

Great Video!

🔥 video

If only manager Terry Collins had not given in to Matt Harvey’s plea to let him stay in the game against the Royals in that World Series game…

Injury played a part, but I believe his party life and maturity is what did him in.

this is NOT batman‼

When I first saw Harvey pitch I called it right from the get go that he would be Mark Prior 2.0 and I was right.

May 29 I watched Matt Harvey pitch against my white Sox in the 2nd game of the 7 inning double header. I was chirping the Mets manager saying Harvey will give up a bomb to billy Hamilton. I went crazy when billy hit one out. That’s my lasting memory of Matt Harvey.

I played against Hosmer and Harvey who were on the same summer team in high school. Forgot that Hosmer doubled off him in the 9th in that World Series.

Harvey has Aaron Rodgers energy..(+a few lines of coke)

Being a Mets fan is tough -Braves fan

Tell me why for a sec I thought that was Justin Verlander on the thumbnail

harvey pitching was must watch tv

Dark Knight? More like Harvey “Two Face” Dent.

This one really hurts....Being a Mets fan is just pain..

That halo music at 8:15 tho

holy shit kofie from secret base cameo 😮

Anyone know what song Mr. And that’s baseball used for the Kevin Mitchell 1989 highlight clip part??

This is what I love about New York fans. They practically demand that this kid pitch way beyond the recommended number of innings, then boo the hell out of him when he damages his arm and can no longer perform. deGromm and Syndergaard are other examples. This city sucks so hard. Is it any wonder no one wants to play here?

How the hell do you pitch in the Majors for 10 years and still get a job right after retirement?! 😂😂

Can I ask what’s the instrumental in the background?

WESLEYS THEORY I HEARD THAT

When Diaz got hurt in the WBC, I was hoping the Mets will give him a shot to be a closer. 1 inning, that’s all we needed. Sigh, what could’ve been 😔

The poster boy for not coming back from tommy John too soon

Im gonna have to call a rain check on dinner honey, ATB just dropped a new video

As a lifelong Mets fan, well since Carter was traded there, the bigger mystery was how the hell did the Mets fall off the map the next season and not make a rub at the division until years later.

That high school footage is against my team 😂. He had an off game and still struck out 17. Wasn’t fun

what worse, being a Mariners fan or a Mets fan?

rangers were big in 2013??

The guy’s named is Harvey but they called him The Dark Knight lmao

3:43 Mets DeGroming before DeGrom was even a Major League player lol

Posted during the Yankees-Mets series. I swear you did that on purpose.

first dont care, good vid blud🗣️

It makes me so happy that the Mets have the highest salary in baseball and they’re under 500. Yea the NL east is though with the Braves and Phillies but it’s still kind of embarrassing.

Behind the scenes or between the lines the Mets should make Mat Harvey a pitching coach work him in minors and then becoming a Major League pitching coach

Harvey, degrom, syndegarrd, wheeler, Matz, AND BIG SEXY!! no championships.

I still can't believe he pitched for the O's.

Playing a round of golf after many rounds at the bar is kinda legendary, can’t lie. 😂 definitely a major tool, though.

Could have been great. Mets made a huge mistake riding him so hard in the playoffs. They should have thought about the future and shut him down regardless of the playoff outcome. Like the Nationals did with Strasburg early in his career.

Crazy y’all still have this problem till this day 😂

I contend his career ending injury was a broken heart.

Now knowing about his opioid addiction, that bloody nose game hits different 🤷🏻‍♂️

well....the bloody nose thing was pretty obviously cocaine related so I dunno how heroic that was.

Where is heath ledger

This is why teams don’t pay pitchers early in their careers. They will do it for position players though. (Acura, Wander, ETC)

That bloody moss was due to coke use right?

matt harvey hasnt been relevant for years now. there was zero reason anyone called him the dark knight

3:27 totally was not on cocaine

Fan pressure into pitching which effectively ended his career, just to be boo'd for not being as good as he used to is why I don't think Muts fans deserve happiness, and I'm glad their franchise is dog ass. Terrible people. No city in sports makes players more depressed, more afraid, or as "Any team but them"" than both NY teams.

If Harvey never gets hurt and hooked on drugs 😢

Flipping the script in the middle of the vid was confusing and frustrating 😑

2:30 yo what fucking song is this 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩

All 3 pitcher's were busts!

Why are so many baseball YT channel creators Mets fans???? I guess when your team is a constant disappointment, you gotta find another way to love the game 😂

Another great pitcher with arm problems. Happens to many times now.

Orioles legend

I don't know about the fall but there's been a lot of people already arranging the uprise to make sure that there was a fall

Bumgarner in 2014 World Series was more impressive than Harvey in 2015 world series.

The Mets - "Matt we need you to throw a million pitches this year" Harvey - "The dr said I can only throw Half of that before my arm falls off" Mets- "you're selfish" Harvey - "Fine, I'll throw a million and 1" Harvey- "Hey, my arm fell off from throwing a million pitches, have you seen it anywhere?" The Mets - "Check on the bus" Harvey - "What bus would it be on?" Mets - "The one out of town, we don't want a pitcher without an arm"
