Closer (baseball)
In baseball, a closing pitcher, more frequently referred to as a closer (abbreviated CL), is a relief pitcher who specializes in getting the final outs in a close game when his team is leading. The role is often assigned to a team's best reliever. Before the 1990s, pitchers in similar roles were referred to as a fireman, short reliever, and stopper. A small number of closers have won the Cy Young Award. Dennis Eckersley, Rollie Fingers, Goose Gossage, Bruce Sutter and Hoyt Wilhelm are closers who have been elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame.
==Usage==
A closer is generally a team's best reliever and designated to pitch the last few outs of games when their team is leading by a margin of three runs or fewer. Rarely does a closer enter with their team losing or in a tie game.〔 A closer's effectiveness has traditionally been measured by the save, an official Major League Baseball (MLB) statistic since 1969.〔〔Jack Moore "On the Closer Position: The Save and RP Usage" ''Fangraphs'', Dec. 30, 2009 http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/index.php/on-the-closer-position-the-save-and-rp-usage/〕 Over time, closers have become one-inning specialists typically brought in at the beginning of the ninth inning in save situations. The pressure of the last three outs of the game is often cited for the importance attributed to the ninth inning.〔
Closers are often the highest paid relievers on their teams, making money on par with starting pitchers.〔 In the rare cases where a team does not have one primary pitcher dedicated to this role, the team is said to have a ''closer by committee''.〔
