Harvey attended La Salle College High School and Kennedy-Kenrick Catholic High School. He graduated from Kennedy-Kenrick in 2010, and then enrolled at the University of Pittsburgh, where he played college baseball for the Pittsburgh Panthers. In 2013, he played collegiate summer baseball with the Hyannis Harbor Hawks of the Cape Cod Baseball League.[1] In 2014, his junior year, he went 2-2 with a 2.90 ERA in 15 games (12 starts). After the season, the New York Yankees selected him in the 19th round, with the 572nd overall selection, of the 2014 MLB draft.[2]

New York Yankees

Harvey signed and made his professional debut in 2014 with the Rookie-level GCL Yankees and the Class A Short Season Staten Island Yankees, accumulating a 0–2 win-loss record with a 1.74 earned run average (ERA) in ​20 2⁄3 innings pitched.[3] He spent the 2015 season with the Class A Charleston RiverDogs, going 1–1 with a 4.24 ERA in 17 innings. His 2016 season was again split between the GCL Yankees and the Staten Island Yankees, accumulating a 0–1 with a 0.84 ERA in 20 innings. In 2017, he played for the Class A-Advanced Tampa Yankees, going 1–0 with a 1.05 ERA in 25.2 innings. He split the 2018 season between the Double-A Trenton Thunder and the Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders, accumulating a 3–2 record with a 1.67 ERA in 59 innings.[3]

The Yankees added Harvey to their 40-man roster after the 2018 season.[4] He opened the 2019 season back with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.[3] The Yankees promoted him to the major leagues on April 10, 2019,[5] and he made his MLB debut that day. He recorded three strikeouts over two scoreless innings of relief.[6]

Colorado Rockies

On July 31, 2019, the Yankees traded Harvey to the Colorado Rockies for minor leaguer Alfredo Garcia.[7] On December 9, 2019, he was designated for assignment and was outrighted to AAA on December 16.[8][9]
