From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Inbaseball,earned run average (ERA) is astatistic used to measure the performance ofpitchers. It is determined by dividing the number ofearned runs allowed by the number ofinnings pitched, and multiplying by nine.^[a]

Major League Baseball recognizes the player in each league^[b] with the lowest earned run average each season.^[c] The first ERA champion in the National League wasGeorge Bradley; in the National League's inaugural 1876 season, Bradley posted a 1.23 ERA for theSt. Louis Brown Stockings, allowing 78 earned runs in 573 innings pitched.^[1] The American League was established in 1901, andHall of Fame pitcherCy Young led that league with a 1.62 ERA for theBoston Americans during the 1901 season.^[2]

Over the course of his 17-year major league career,Lefty Grove led the American League in ERA nine times, with a career single-season low of 2.06 for the 1931Philadelphia Athletics.^[3]Roger Clemens has won the second-most ERA titles, capturing six in the American League and one in the National League.^[4]Sandy Koufax led the National League in ERA for five consecutive seasons (1962–1966); Koufax' five awards are the most won consecutively by any player and are tied for the most awards by a player in the National League withChristy Mathewson andClayton Kershaw.^[5]^[6]^[7] In the American League,Walter Johnson also won five ERA titles,^[8] andPedro Martínez has won a total of five (four American League and one National League) with two different teams.^[9]

The most recent ERA champions areTarik Skubal in the American League andPaul Skenes in the National League.

The lowest single-season ERA in league history was posted byTim Keefe, whose 0.86 ERA in 105 innings pitched for the National League'sTroy Trojans in 1880 led his closest competitor by .52 runs.^[10] In the American League,Dutch Leonard's 0.96 ERA is a single-season record.^[11] Keefe and Leonard are the only two pitchers ever to allow less than one run per nine innings pitched in a single season. The widest margin of victory for an ERA champion is 1.96 runs, achieved when Martínez' 1.74 ERA led Clemens' 3.70 in the American League during the 2000 season. The largest margin of victory in the National League is 1.26 runs—Dazzy Vance's 2.61 ERA overCarl Hubbell's 3.87 in 1930. The smallest margin of victory for an ERA champion is .009 runs. Although the statistic is traditionally recorded to two decimal places by mostsources,^[12]^[13]^[14] the 1988 American League title was decided by a margin of less than one hundredth of a run whenAllan Anderson's ERA of 2.446 (55 earned runs in202+1⁄3 innings)^[15] bestedTeddy Higuera's 2.455 mark (62 earned runs in227+1⁄3 innings).^[16] Other contests decided by one hundredth or less includeLuis Tiant's 1.91 ERA ahead ofGaylord Perry's 1.92 in 1972^[17]^[18] andMark Fidrych (2.34) overVida Blue (2.35) in 1976.^[19]^[20]

Notes

[edit]

^a WhileBaseball-Reference.com lists both Scarborough and Hall of FamerBob Lemon with an ERA of 2.82 in 1948, Scarborough's average is lower (2.817) than Lemon's (2.820) if extended to three decimal places.
^b^c While Baseball-Reference lists both Anderson and Higuera with an ERA of 2.45 in 1988, Anderson's average is lower (2.446) than Higuera's (2.455) if extended to three decimal places.
^d Until 1981, the rules stated that the number of innings pitched should be rounded to the nearest whole inning. This explains why McCatty was, at the time, awarded the 1981 ERA title although his ERA appears to be slightly higher than that of Stewart.^[302]

Footnotes

[edit]

\mathrm {ERA} =9\cdot {\frac {\mathrm {Earned~runs~allowed} }{\mathrm {Innings~pitched} }}

^a This is shown in the mathematical formula at right.^[303]
^b Recognized "major leagues" include the currentAmerican andNational Leagues and several defunct leagues—theAmerican Association, theFederal League, thePlayers' League, and theUnion Association.^[304]
^c A pitcher must average throwing at least one inning per game scheduled for his team during the season (currently 162 innings per 162 games) to qualify for the ERA title.^[305]
