2023 MLB Postseason Pitching Leaders
17 players from 12 clubs qualified, ranked by ERA. October is short and uneven — one club plays two games, another nineteen — so the qualifier is 1.0 innings pitched per game the player's own club played, and never fewer than 5. None of it counts toward the regular-season leaders.

Reading this table
Box-score and rate statistics only. wOBA, wRC+, FIP and dbWAR are all measured against a league season, and a dozen clubs playing each other's best pitchers for a month is not one — borrowing the regular season's baselines would print numbers that look comparable and are not. Reached is the last round the player's club played in. The Parquet holds every round as well as the October totals. See the methodology →
