ERA

If any of the runs were earned, he would've had the infamous "INF" for his ERA in that game(standing for infinity).

ERA is computed as follows
ERA = Earned Runs Allowed/Innings Pitched x Innings per game

Innings per game is 7 in high school, but 9 in college & pros.

If innings pitched = 0, you have a classic "divide by zero" situation.

When added with other stats for the season it hurts bad when you give up 8 and don't get an out... But assuming a few other appearances, at least you aren't dividing by zero.

Thanks. ERA for the game, INF. Imagine a pitcher that pitched only one game in MLB and had an outing like Bumgarner did Tuesday. Might put him in the history books.

For High Schools I question ERA stats. I found out for our HS that every pitch in the dirt the catcher couldn't block was being recorded as a passed ball and not a wild pitch so the ERA's were way too low.
