Matt Harvey‘s colleagues rewarded him the Players Choice Award for National League Comeback Player of the Year on Monday.
“It’s unbelievable. I couldn’t be more honored,” Harvey said on MLB Network. “The most important thing about this, it gives hope to young kids and other players coming back for injury. A huge honor, I can’t thank my peers enough.”
Harvey also won Major League Baseball’s and the Sporting News’s Comeback Player of the Year Awards last week.
Harvey missed the entire 2014 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery.
During the 2015 regular season, Harvey went 13-8 with a 2.71 ERA and 1.02 WHIP while striking out 188 batters in 189 1/3 innings.
“We constantly evaluate where we are, but Matt Harvey did an extraordinary job for us this year,” Mets GM Sandy Alderson said on Wednesday. “We had a couple of bumps along the way. The fact is he pitched exceptionally well coming off his injury. He pitched exceptionally deep into the season coming off his injury and, I think, demonstrated his commitment to the team and willingness to go the extra mile for the organization and his teammates.”
