Meter Avenue took a one-week hiatus but has returned with the final player performance meters of the season. Overall, the Mets finished the season strong, and that had a lot to do with their pitching. "This Week" is indicative of each player's performance over the final two weeks of the season.
| Player | Last Week | This Week | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| David Aardsma, RHP |  |
 |
There were plenty of bad weeks over the course of Aardsma's season, but he went out with a scoreless week. |
| Scott Atchison, RHP | |
 |
In seven appearances, the 7 K and 1 BB were very good, but Atchison gave up three runs, too. |
| Vic Black, RHP | |
|
The early returns were good on Black, whose 3.18 ERA and 9.5 K/9 over the final two weeks made it seem like he could do well in the team's 2014 bullpen. |
| Greg Burke, RHP | |
|
In his last outing of the year, Burke recorded one out and gave up one run. |
| Tim Byrdak, LHP | |
|
Byrdak struggled upon his return from shoulder surgery but finished off the season with 1.1 scoreless innings in three outings. |
| Jeurys Familia, RHP | -- | |
The big story here was that Familia was able to return at all after having elbow surgery just a few months ago. His lone outing didn't go well, though. |
| Pedro Feliciano, LHP | |
|
In five appearances totaling two innings, Feliciano didn't allow a run and notched a pair of strikeouts with one walk. |
| Frank Francisco, RHP | |
|
Francisco had one of the best stretches of his brief Mets career as the team played out the string. |
| Dillon Gee, RHP | |
|
Gee's last two starts were nearly identical: 6 IP, 4 runs, 7 hits. That made for an underwhelming finish to an otherwise encouraging year. |
| Gonzalez Germen, RHP | |
|
With a 4.50 ERA in his last four appearances, Germen was at least able to strike out four opposing hitters. |
| Aaron Harang, RHP | |
|
The 5.8 BB/9 rate wasn't pretty, but Harang managed a 3.18 ERA in three starts. |
| LaTroy Hawkins, RHP | |
|
What better way for Hawkins to end the season than with five scoreless innings? He was probably one of the most underrated relief pitchers out there this year. |
| Sean Henn, LHP | |
|
Henn's ERA, K/9, BB/9, and HR/9 were all 6.75. That's kind of neat. |
| Daisuke Matsuzaka, RHP | |
|
Matsuzaka finished the season very strong, and in two starts over this span he had a 1.32 ERA. |
| Jon Niese, LHP | |
|
Niese was very good in his final three starts of the season and had a 2.70 ERA to finish a very good post-injury half of the year. |
| Carlos Torres, RHP | |
|
In two starts and one relief appearance, Torres finished the season strong with a 3.21 ERA, 10.9 K/9, and 3.2 BB/9 in 14 innings. |
| Zack Wheeler, RHP | |
|
Wheeler's final start was a stinker, and he reportedly had some shoulder soreness when the Mets shut him down after it. Let's hope that was just the normal aches and pains of pitching. |
This week's player meter covers games from September 16 through September 29.
