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

ImpactWendelken 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 finaleMejia 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.

ImpactMejia 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 homerVanMeter went 2-for-5 with a home run in Sunday's win over Colorado.

ImpactVanMeter 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.

Carlos Estévez - Gives up walkoff homerEstevez (3-5) was tagged with the loss in relief Sunday against the Diamondbacks after giving up the decisive run while tossing two-thirds of an inning.

ImpactEstevez quickly retired Ketel Marte and Josh Rojas through flyouts, but he gave up the game-sealing homer to Josh VanMeter, who went deep for the sixth time this year. It was an unfortunate end of the year for Estevez, who went 11-for-17 in save chances while posting a 4.28 ERA with a 1.49 WHIP through 61 innings (63 appearances) this season.

Ashton Goudeau - No-decision as openerGoudeau didn't factor into the decision Sunday against Arizona after tossing three scoreless innings, giving up one hit and two walks.

ImpactGoudeau had tossed at least 40 pitches in his previous two relief appearances, but he went a bit longer this time and hurled 57 pitches (33 strikes) in what was the first MLB start of his career. Goudeau made 16 appearances this season between the Reds and the Rockies, and he ends the year sporting a 4.19 ERA that represents a step in the right direction compared to what he did in 2020.
