The final pitcher of a game can earn a save by getting at least one batter out to end the game with the tying run on base, at bat, or on deck, or by pitching the last three innings without relinquishing the lead, regardless of score.{{cite book

The statistic was created by Jerome Holtzman in 1959 to "measure the effectiveness of relief pitchers" and was adopted as an official statistic by MLB in 1969.{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/22/sports/baseball/22holtzman.html|title=Jerome Holtzman, 82, 'Dean' of Sportswriters, Dies|work=The New York Times|first=Bruce|last=Weber|date=July 22, 2008|access-date=May 23, 2011|archive-date=August 12, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190812131007/https://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/22/sports/baseball/22holtzman.html|url-status=live}}{{cite web|url=http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20080721&content_id=3167355&vkey=news_mlb&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb|title= Legendary historian Holtzman passes|access-date=May 23, 2011|last=Bloom|first=Barry|work=MLB.com|publisher=Major League Baseball|date=July 21, 2008| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20110429155949/http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20080721&content_id=3167355&vkey=news_mlb&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb| archive-date= 29 April 2011 | url-status= live}} The save has been retroactively measured for past pitchers where applicable.

Mariano Rivera holds the MLB save record with 652. Only Rivera and Trevor Hoffman have exceeded 500 or 600 saves, and Hoffman was the first to achieve either. Only eight pitchers have recorded 400 or more saves: Rivera, Hoffman, Lee Smith, Kenley Jansen, Craig Kimbrel, Francisco Rodríguez, John Franco, and Billy Wagner.

Rollie Fingers was the first player to record 300 saves, reaching the mark on August 21, 1982. Aroldis Chapman is the most recent, achieving his 300th on August 26, 2021. The New York Mets are the only franchise to see three players reach the milestone while on their roster—John Franco, Billy Wagner, and Jason Isringhausen. In total, 31 players have recorded 300 or more saves in their career. Only nine relievers – Dennis Eckersley, Fingers, Goose Gossage, Hoffman, Rivera, Smith, Bruce Sutter, Wagner, and Wilhelm – have been inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame;{{cite news|url=http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/yankees/2008/07/27/2008-07-27_goose_gossage_joins_exclusive_club_of_re.html|archive-url=http://archive.wikiwix.com/cache/20110608235822/http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/yankees/2008/07/27/2008%2D07%2D27_goose_gossage_joins_exclusive_club_of_re.html |url-status=dead|archive-date=June 8, 2011|title=Goose Gossage joins exclusive club of relievers in baseball's Hall of Fame |access-date=May 23, 2011|agency=Associated Press|work=New York Daily News|date=July 27, 2008}} all but Wilhelm also have at least 300 saves.{{cite web|url=http://baseballhall.org/hall-famers/rules-election/bbwaa|title=Rules for Election|publisher=National Baseball Hall of Fame|access-date=May 23, 2011|archive-date=May 30, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100530074537/http://baseballhall.org/hall-famers/rules-election/bbwaa|url-status=live}} Jansen, Kimbrel, and Chapman are the only active players with more than 300 saves.{{cite web |url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/leaders/SV_active.shtml |title=Active Leaders & Records for Saves |website=Baseball-Reference.com |access-date=May 11, 2023 |archive-date=March 19, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230319070300/https://www.baseball-reference.com/leaders/SV_active.shtml |url-status=live }}
