Okay, so today I was watching a baseball game and kept hearing the commentators say “MVR.” I was like, “What the heck is that?” I’ve heard of ERA, RBI, and all that, but MVR was new to me. So, I grabbed my phone and started digging.
My Little Research Journey
First, I hit up the usual spots – you know, just a quick search. Most of what I found talked about “Minimum Viable Refactoring,” which is more of a software thing, had to skip on those.
I dug a bit deeper, and finally, on a forum and some sports pages, I saw some discussions and mentions. It seems like its a new or not that famous term so my first time seeing it was not that easy to find.
What I Found Out
Apparently, “MVR” is short for “Most Valuable Reliever.”
- Most: meaning the top player of players
- Valuable: meaning very important for their team
- Reliever: meaning a substitute role of pitcher
It is given to the relief pitcher who’s been the most, well, valuable to their team. Basically, the reliever who comes in and saves the day the most often and the most effectively.
So, there you have it. I learned something new today, even if it took a bit of searching around. Now, I can finally understand what they were all talking about with MVR. Next time I hear it, I’ll be all, “Yeah, I know what that is!”
