The Angels’ loss is North Carolina’s gain. Righthander Matt Harvey, out of Fitch High in Groton, Conn., did not come to terms with the Angels and instead will honor his commitment to North Carolina. Harvey was Los Angeles’ second pick, coming in the third round and 118th overall.

Harvey entered the year as the top-ranked high school prospect in the country and threw well for most of the season, with a heavy 91-94 mph fastball and power curveball, as well as a promising changeup. However, Harvey’s stock slipped a bit late as he lost velocity, and his Scott Boras Corporation representation didn’t help matters either, making his signability difficult. The Angels didn’t have consistent contact with the Harvey family and made a late offer–said to be in the $1.5 million neighborhood–to sign him that proved too little, too late.
