To compute pitcher's earned-run average, multiply the total earned runs charged against his pitching by 9, and divide the result by the total number of innings he pitched. NOTE: Earned-run average shall be calculated on the basis of total innings pitched including fractional innings. EXAMPLE: 9 1/3 innings pitched and 3 earned runs is an earned run average of 2.89 (3 ER time 9 divided by 9 1/3 equals 2.89).

ERA is a calculated estimate of the number of earned runs that a pitcher would allow over a nine-inning period. The math is geared to nine innings.

So, for example, if a pitcher pitched one inning in his first appearance for the year, and gave up three runs in that inning, his ERA at the end of that game would be 27.00. As he pitches more innings over more games, that number will likely go down, as the statistics mount and figures are adjusted.
