Closers make the majority of their appearances with their team already ahead, so when a closer earns a win, he has often blown a save first. Middle relievers often compile many more blown saves than saves, since they get the former every time they fail, but rarely get the chance anymore to finish the game and earn the save when they do their job well.
As a result, ignorant commentators will often say that a middle reliever is not cut out to be a closer since he has such a poor save percentage, even though those numbers are not at all comparable to those of closers.
To circumvent that problem, the hold statistic has been created, and is in effect a save credited to a middle reliever. Tough saves are used to determine points for the Rolaids Relief Man Award. A "Tough Save" occurs when a pitcher gets a save with the tying run on base.
Also, if a reliever enters a game in a non-save situation and gives up the lead before being replaced, he will be assessed a two-point penalty same as a blown save but will not be charged with a blown save since the opportunity for a save did not exist.

Origin The term save was used by general managers in the s, without specific parameters. More from Pitching. Whoever allowed the runner to get on base takes the loss. If he reached base while the reliever was pitching he gets the loss. You can get a loss without giving up any earned runs. Thank you for the feedback, appreciate it.
And Carl has answered your question below. The pitcher who pitched the 8th would get the win. The pitcher of record in the bottom of the 8th would be the winning pitcher.
Assumptions: the score was tied after 8 innings and the visitors scored the go ahead run in the top of the 9th. The closer who started the bottom of the 9th gets the save if the lead was 3 runs or less when he started. You are commenting using your WordPress. You are commenting using your Google account.
