I picked him up as a spot starter on opening day and now he's anchoring my pitching staff.

Yes, his life should be wholly defined by how it ended.

Ok sorry, after 76 career starts.

A relief pitcher10 records a goose egg for each inning in which:
It’s the seventh inning or later;
At the time the pitcher faces his first batter of the inning:
His team leads by no more than two runs, or
The score is tied, or
The tying run is on base or at bat
No runs (earned or unearned) are charged to the pitcher in the inning and no inherited runners score while the pitcher is in the game; and
The pitcher either:
Records three outs (one inning pitched), or
Records at least one out, and the number of outs recorded plus the number of inherited runners totals at least three.

Basically, a reliever pitches a scoreless, clutch inning.
It's one of my favorite things: a counting stat that actually tells you something about a player's value!

A Hold is credited any time a relief pitcher enters a game in a Save Situation (see definition below), records at least one out, and leaves the game never having relinquished the lead. Note: a pitcher cannot finish the game and receive credit for a Hold, nor can he earn a hold and a save.
