A setup man is a relief pitcher in baseball who comes in during the later innings of a game, just before the closer, to help maintain or protect the team's lead. Their job is to pitch effectively for one or two innings, getting the game to the closer in a good position to finish the game. The setup man often faces the opposing team's best hitters, and their performance is crucial to giving the team a chance to win. They typically pitch in the 7th or 8th inning, depending on the game's situation.
