ERA

January 04, 2002 at 03:08PM View BBCode

I was wondering, why is teh ERA limited to only if the pitcher has at least 162 IPs? Because that is hard for some starters, much less any reievers. If you wanted it to be only starters, and I was paying for this, I'd want one for the relievers too...

That is how Major League Baseball determines the ERA champion, they require a minimum of 162 innings pitched. Rule 10.23(b), http://www.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mlb/baseball_basics/mlb_basics_official_scorer.jsp

Neither did I! I had to look it up while I was doing the league leaders page. I knew it was something, but I didn't know exactly what number of innings it was. Thanks.
