Just wanted to know the difference and if it matters at all  |
Mopup Pitcher is your guy who comes in when your team has a very big lead or you are so far behind the game is hopeless. Should be your lowest Q pitcher.
A Middle Man is a guy you send in if your starter tires early or is having a bad day. Around the 5th or 6th inning hoping he can get you to the 8th where you bring in your setup man.
You setup guy should never pitch more than 1 inning. (The 8th.) Leaving the 9th for your closer.
