中继投手, 中间救援投手
(baseball) a pitcher who enters the game after the starting pitcher but before the closer
A middle reliever is a type of reliever in baseball who comes into the game during the middle innings, usually when the starting pitcher has been taken out. Their job is to pitch for a few innings to keep the game close, prevent the other team from scoring, and give the team's stronger pitchers time to rest. Middle relievers often pitch in situations where the game is still competitive, and their performance can help set up the team's chances to win later on.
