In baseball what does hold out mean?

Answer 1

Hold is a statistic for relief pitchers. It means the pitcher came into the game with his team in the lead and left the game with his team in the lead. In other words, the pitcher 'held' the lead for his team.

Answer 2

'Hold out' is a term used not only in Baseball but in most sports. It means a player has not signed a contract and, in most cases, is looking for better contract terms such as more money or a longer length of time.

Answer 3

A relief pitcher is credited with a "hold" if, during the innings he is pitching, his team maintains its lead over the other team; but the reliever is not credited with a save.

For example, if a reliver pitches the 7th and 8th innings and maintains the lead, and another reliever pitches the 9th inning and also maintains the lead; the first reliever is credited with a "hold" and the second reliever is credited with a "save." The first reliever would be credited with a hold even if the second blew the save opportunity and his team lost the game.

Note that "hold" is not an official MLB statistic, and different bodies even define the term differently. Thus, "records" for holds are, at best, nebulous.
