It seems most people believe Matt Harvey, the Fitch High School senior who was drafted in the third round of the Major League Baseball draft, has signed with the Los Angeles Angels.
If he has, it would be news to his dad.
Ed Harvey, who is also the head coach of the Falcons baseball team, was at the Eastern League All-Star game Wednesday night and, once again, said there has been little contact between the family and the Angels.
Harvey joked that he almost expects to next hear from them on August 15th at 11:59 p.m. The deadline for signing drafted players August 15th but it's not like the Harveys are worried. Matt, who is currently playing for a traveling high school All-Star team in the midwest, still has a great future ahead of him at the University of North Carolina.
Ed Harvey promised to keep us posted and we promise to keep you posted if anything happens between Harvey and the Angels.
This seems like a good time to mention this as well, we don't always hear everything that is going on in the local sports world so if you have a tip to drop us, please do. My e-mail is mallard@norwichbulletin.com and we always like hearing from you.
