how do get a save?

Answer 1

You can pitch the last three innings regardless of the score (of course your team must be ahead), but it can be 15-2 and if you pitch last three innings you get the save.

If your team is up by 3 or less runs (can't be a tie) then you qualify for a save.

I believe that if you come into a game and there is a tying run in scoring position left by another pitcher you can get the save. Not too positive on that one though.

Answer 2

a save is a designation applied to a pitcher who finishes a close game for the winning team under certain prescribed circumstances....the term save (abbreviated SV or S) is used to indicate the successful maintenance of a lead by a relief pitcher, usually the closer, until the end of the game. A save is credited to a pitcher who fulfills the following three conditions:

The pitcher is the last pitcher in a game won by his team;
The pitcher is not the winning pitcher (for instance, if a starting pitcher throws a complete game win or, alternatively, if the pitcher gets a blown save and then his team scores a winning run while he is the pitcher of record, sometimes known as a "vulture win");
The pitcher fulfills at least one of the following three conditions:
He comes into the game with a lead of no more than three runs and pitches for at least one full inning.
He comes into the game with the potential tying run either on base, at bat, or on deck.
He pitches "effectively" (usually for at least three innings) after entering the game with a lead.

Answer 3

It completely depends on the status of the game when the relief pitcher first takes the mound. If it isn't a save situation at that moment, that reliever is not going to get a save.

It's all spelled out:

MLB Rule 10.19, Saves For Relief Pitchers

The official scorer shall credit a pitcher with a save when such pitcher meets all four of the following conditions:
(a) He is the finishing pitcher in a game won by his team;

(b) He is not the winning pitcher;

(c) He is credited with at least a third of an inning pitched; and

(d) He satisfies one of the following conditions:
(1) He enters the game with a lead of no more than three runs and pitches for at least one inning;

(2) He enters the game, regardless of the count, with the potential tying run either on base, or at bat or on deck (that is, the potential tying run is either already on base or is one of the first two batters he faces); or

(3) He pitches for at least three innings.

Most saves are types (1) or (2) but there is the occasional (3).

Answer 4

When the batter on-deck represents the tying run, you are pitching for a save.Get 3 outs before your opponents tie or pass you and you get a save!

Answer 5

The pitcher fulfills at least one of the following three conditions:
He comes into the game with a lead of no more than three runs and pitches for at least one full inning.

He comes into the game with the potential tying run either on base, at bat, or on deck.

He pitches "effectively" (usually for at least three innings) after entering the game with a lead. (This rule can be contentious, as it is subject to the judgment of the official scorer.)

Answer 6

Your team must be ahead by no more than 3 runs and the closer must obtain at least the last 3 outs.
