relief pitcher
This term is specific to the sport of baseball and describes a specialized role within a pitching staff. While a starting pitcher is expected to throw multiple innings, a relief pitcher is brought in to maintain a lead, stop an opponent's momentum, or finish the game.
Within this category, there are further specialized roles such as the closer, who typically pitches the final inning to secure a win, and the middle reliever, who bridges the gap between the starter and the closer. The term is used exclusively in a sporting context and does not carry the general meaning of providing emotional or physical relief.
