Highly complex models of dubious scientific quality are projecting lefthanded reliever and current B-Met Adam Kolarek to get the all-time honor of Millenium Met. Adam is a native of Baltimore and an alum of the University of Maryland-College Park. He went 3-3 with a single save this year, but did his duty to the tune of a 1.71 ERA over 63 innings in 44 games, suggesting that he's something more than a LOOGy, at least for the time being. He struck out 63 batters (exactly one per inning) and walked 22, while holding opponents to a .204 average.
(None of those stats count his brief and ineffective visit to Las Vegas (four games, 11.25 ERA).)
Adam sports a meaty, cocky, slack smile suggestive of Matt Harvey's little brother:
He's a hit with the ladies:
He loves his country:
While he currently weights in at a beefy 6'3"/215, he's clearly bulked up since his amateur days:
He's... my God, what's he doing to his neck during his delivery?!
GAH! Too many hernias as it is, Mets pitching coaches! Pick up a kenesiology book! The human neck is not supposed to do that!
The change-up is his meat, and the slider is his potatoes, and that's the sort of stuff a LOOGy throws.
Adam Kolarek, YOUR projected Millenium Met.
