J.B. Wendelken - Earns win in relief Wendelken (4-3) earned the win in relief Sunday against Colorado after tossing a scoreless inning, allowing one hit and a walk.

Impact Wendelken pitched the ninth inning when the game was tied at 4-4, and he needed 19 pitches (11 strikes) to earn his fourth win of the campaign. The right-hander allowed runs in just three of his 13 games since the beginning of September and ends the year with a 4.33 ERA, a figure that represents a step in the wrong direction compared to recent years -- he posted an ERA below the 3.60 mark in three straight campaigns between 2018 and 2020.

Humberto Mejía - No-decision in season finale Mejia didn't factor into the decision Sunday against Colorado after allowing four runs (three earned) on six hits and a walk while fanning five across 4.2 innings.

Impact Mejia is still searching for the first big-league win of his career, though he struggled badly every time he stepped on the mound this season en route to ending the year with a 7.25 ERA. He gave up at least three earned runs in four of his five starts while pitching more than five complete innings just once.

Josh VanMeter - Socks walkoff homer VanMeter went 2-for-5 with a home run in Sunday's win over Colorado.

Impact VanMeter was having an unimpressive day at the plate but became the team's hero in the season finale with a two-out, walkoff homer in the bottom of the ninth. It was VanMeter's sixth long ball of the campaign, but that doesn't hide the fact that he was far from being a steady offensive threat. In fact, VanMeter ends the year hitting .212 with a meager .651 OPS across 112 games.
