Hold which is when a rp holds the lead for the closer. A hold is rewarded when from wiki "relief pitcher who:1. enters the game in a save situation; that is, one of the following three conditions applies:
* his team has a lead of no more than three runs (and he pitches at least one inning)
* the potential tying run is either on base, at bat, or on deck
* he pitches for at least three innings after entering the game
2. records at least one out;
3. and leaves the game without his team having relinquished the lead at any point.
Note that since the hold is not an official MLB statistic, the definition above can vary. One noticeable difference is that while STATS Inc. requires the pitcher to record at least one out for a hold, SportsTicker does not have this requirement. This can result in discrepancies in hold totals between different sources.[1]"
