earned run average
Mound performance metric
Earned run average is a baseball statistic measuring the average number of earned runs a pitcher allows per nine innings pitched.
Abbreviated ERA, it excludes runs scored due to fielding errors.
A lower ERA indicates better pitching performance: His ERA dropped below 3.00 this season.
The stat has been standard since the early twentieth century.
