Pronunciation: 'klO-z&r
Function: noun
: one that closes; especially : a relief pitcher who specializes in finishing games Pronunciation Symbols
Mariano Rivera is the closer for the New York Yankees. In baseball, a closer is a relief pitcher who specializes in closing games, i.e., getting the final outs in a close game. Since closers appear frequently when a game is on the line, the role usually goes to a team's best reliever. Closers, while typically possessing as much pitching talent as any other pitcher on their respective teams, may not have a wide enough variety of pitches or enough reliability over several innings to become a starting pitcher. Some closers, however, have been starting pitchers who due to injury or fading durability became closers later in their careers (such as John Smoltz and Jason Isringhausen). In general, closers are selected based on their ability to pitch effectively for one inning against both right-handed and left-handed batters (as opposed to left-handed specialists) and their ability to maintain their composure in high-pressure situations. Good closers usually have an overpowering fastball and one or two complementary pitches (a full arsenal of pitches is not necessary), although this rule does have its exceptions (such as knuckleballer Tim Wakefield and sinkerballers Derek Lowe and Bob Wickman, all of whom have spent time closing games as well as starting). The marquee statistic for closers is the save. (See "save" for the official requirements to earn a save.) The all-time Major League Baseball saves leader is now Trevor Hoffman, who, on September 24, 2006, broke Lee Smith’s record by notching his 479th career save. Bobby Thigpen holds the single-season mark for saves with 57. For about the past two decades, the general practice has been for a closer to enter the game to pitch the ninth inning when his team is ahead by three runs or fewer, which aligns with the requirements to get a save. If the game is important (e.g., a playoff game), the closer has not had much opportunity to pitch during recent games, or for other reasons, the manager may opt to bring him in during the eighth inning. If the closer fails at his task by letting the other team tie the game or take a lead, he has blown the save. ..."
