Saves became an official statistic in Major League Baseball in 1969. The statistic was introduced to recognize the contribution of relief pitchers in games that were not classified as wins or losses. The save rule was formalized in the official rules of Baseball to provide a clearer understanding of a pitcher's effectiveness in closing out games.
