Stands for Hold. It's a stat that you never saw in the boxscore years ago. I'm not sure when they started keeping track of holds, but it occurs when a reliever comes in and prevents the opponent from tying the game or taking the lead.
A small correction to Frizzer's answer. A relief pitcher doesn't have to have relieved the starter to get credit for a hold. In fact, more than one hold can be given in the same game. Lets say your starter goes 6 innings and leaves with a lead. A reliever pitches the 7 and keeps the lead. He gets credit for a hold. Another reliever comes in and pitches the 8th and keeps the lead. He also gets credit for a hold. The closer comes in and finishes in the 9th, keeps the lead, and picks up the save.
I am not sure if a team needs to win the game for a reliever to get credit for a hold. Example: The starter goes 7 and leaves with the lead. The first reliever comes in for the 8th and keeps the lead, which would give him a hold. The closer comes in in the ninth and blows the lead, losing the game. Does the first reliever still get credit for the hold even though the team lost the game?

Hold: A relief pitcher is credited with a hold any time he enters a game in a save situation, records at least one out and leaves the game never having relinquished the lead. A pitcher cannot finish the game and receive credit for a hold, nor can he earn a hold and a save in the same game

An "H" is a Hold. When a relief pitcher replaces the starting pitcher and does not allow the tying or go ahead run and his team holds the lead when he leaves the game he is given credit for a "Hold". Perhaps the attached "Glossary of Baseball Terms" will help you should you have a question about other terms.

It stands for 'Hold' which is when a pitcher comes in with a lead, and leaves with a lead but doesn't finish the game

H is for hold. If they keep the other team to the same score they came in with, it is consider a hold.

"H" is a hold. That means the pitcher came in and held the team...they did not score off him. I think it's a stupid stat myself.

H usually stands for hits, or hits allowed. I've never seen a stat in a boxscore for pitchers called "holds," but it would be a nice stat to track. But, in almost all boxscores, H stands for hits.
