Matt Harvey Girlfriend: Mets Ace Is Taking Torch Of New York's Most Eligible Bachelor From Derek Jeter [PHOTOS, VIDEO]

Matt Harvey wanted to become the next Derek Jeter and he's succeeded -- at least in the dating world.

The Mets ace and playboy said in 2013 that he was using Jeter as his "model" of how to succeed in New York, but he wasn't talking about on the field. Jeter has a reputation for dating unbelievably gorgeous girls from Mariah Carey to Jessica Alba to Hannah Davis, his current model fiancée.

Harvey took note of the five-time World Series champion's extensive dating resume and was hoping to carve out his own legend in the Big Apple.

"That guy is the model," Harvey said in an interview in the August 2013 issue of Men's Journal. "I mean, first off, let's just look at the women he's dated. Obviously, he goes out -- he's meeting these girls somewhere -- but you never hear about it. That's where I want to be."

Mission accomplished, well ... sort of.

Harvey, 26, has had no trouble meeting girls, but the "never hear about it" part is where he gets caught. The Mets ace has time and time again been criticized for partying too hard off the field when he should be preparing harder, but thus far his numbers on the diamond haven't been indicative of a lack of focus.

Harvey was linked to model Anne V., but even though the relationship ended, he was able to rally. Harvey may have switched from blondes to brunettes as he was seen hooking up with a "leggy" dark-haired woman in Aspen, Colo., over the holidays, according to Page Six -- though there are conflicting reports over whether or not that actually went down.

Whether it's true or not, Harvey has been linked to plenty of beauties, including Victoria's Secret model Devon Windsor and model Ania Cywinska, whom he split with in October.

Harvey has a growing list of beauties that would make Jeter proud and here is a closer look at some of his greatest off-field hits:
