61. He pitched an average of
1.106 innings per appearance in 1998. Glavine pitched just under 7 innings per appearance. Glavine also had exactly half of the number of appearances that Hoffman did that year (33 to 66). Instrumental is a very subjective term. Besides, the only reason he had save opportunities is because the other 24 guys on the team put him in that position.

"And quite often a closer has only a 1 run lead sometimes with baserunners." There's no good data to let us know how many of his saves were of this variety, but starters always start the game with NO lead, and often have to pitch out of jams.
