His fastball may be dropping off, but he’s still got game!
Here are the first photos of Mets bad boy pitcher Matt Harvey getting very cozy, and a little boozy, with Victoria’s Secret supermodel Adriana Lima during an intimate late-night, waterfront dinner in Miami.
The pair arrived by yacht, and then enjoyed champagne, margaritas, oysters, and each other at the ritzy River Yacht Club.
The Wednesday night dinner for two also included ceviche-of-the-day and branzino. The tab came to $216 — and the couple dropped an $85 tip.
Harvey, 27, and Lima, 36, giggled and caressed each other throughout the several-hour dinner, said one spy.
“They could not keep their hands off each other as they laughed and groped each other like high school students,” the spy reported.
Then, just short of the stroke of midnight Thursday morning, they zipped back up the Miami river in a small yacht called “Arme de L’amour — French for “Weapon of Love.”
News of the budding romance left some Mets fans wishful-thinking that their Dark Knight again had his mojo back.
Harvey has been throwing nearly ten mph slower than his usual 100 mph fastball since last year’s surgery for a shoulder condition called thoracic outlet syndrome.
“The Dark Knight returns!” hopeful fan “Clem” posted on Barstool Sports after The Post broke news of the Harvey-Lima merger on Thursday.
“I don’t care that he can only reach 92 on the radar gun or that his ERA in Spring Training is somewhere around my weight.
“Adriana Lima doesn’t lend out those lips to washed up scrubs. Girls can sense when a guy has “it” before any scouts or fans. It’s like when birds disappear before a storm and return when it’s safe.”
Either way, it’s an ideal match for the model-izing Harvey and the athlete-craving Lima.
He’s been spotted with multiple mannequins over the years, including another Victoria’s Secret stunner, Devon Windsor.
He’s also squired Anne Vyalitsyna, Ashley Haas, Shannon Rusbuldt, Ania Cywinska and Asha Leo.
And Lima recently split from New England Patriots receiver Julian Edelman, reportedly in part due to the strain of their long-distance relationship.
Fortunately for our lovebirds, both Lima and Harvey — who’s training some 100 miles north at the Mets’ facility in Port St. Lucie — are based in Florida.
Lima’s played the baseball field before.
In 2006, shortly after splitting with rocker Lenny Kravitz, she briefly dated Yankees great Derek Jeter.
