That's not the formula that OOTP uses.

The formula for Save Pct. is:

Saves / Save Opportunity

There can be more than one save opportunity a game, but only one save. Relief pitchers who enter the game in a save situation and leave with the save opportunity still intact are given a hold. But this hold doesn't help their save percentage.

Save Percentage is really only a relavant stat for closers.

For Middle Relievers Saves + Holds / Save Opportunity would be a better measure... but you must calculate it yourself.

I personally use Blown Saves more than the Save Percentage, because of the reasons stated, Save Percentage is only a relevant stat for your closer.
