ERA | High School Baseball Web

FungoHighly Regarded and Beloved Old Timer

Two questions: #1. A high school pitcher pitches 40 innings while playing in 10 games that were 7 innings each. He allowed 10 earned runs during those 40 innings on the mound. What is his ERA and how did you figure it?

#2. A D-1 college pitcher pitches 40 innings in one season. He pitched in 6 games that were 9 innings each. He allowed 10 earned runs during those 40 innings. What was his ERA and how do you figure it?

Thanks,
Fungo

Are you asking what the rule is or how it is typically done?

#2 would be earned runs X innings per game / innings pitched

10 X 9 / 40 = 2.25

I checked on MaxPreps and they used 7 innings to compute the ERA for HS pitchers:

#1
10 X 7 / 40 = 1.75

Personally, I believe all ERAs should be computed on the basis of 9 inning games.
