The Formula Explained

ERA = (Earned Runs / Innings Pitched) × 9

Glossary of Variables

  • Earned Runs: The number of runs scored without the benefit of an error or a passed ball.
  • Innings Pitched: The number of innings a pitcher has completed pitching.
  • ERA: The average number of earned runs a pitcher allows per nine innings pitched.

How It Works: A Step-by-Step Example

To calculate ERA, divide the number of earned runs allowed by the number of innings pitched, then multiply by 9. For instance, if a pitcher allows 30 earned runs in 90 innings, their ERA is (30/90) × 9 = 3.00.
