Answers:
Who do you think the most overrated baseball player is?
ERA is a statistic used in baseball. It's a stat that only pitcher's have. (That's the best way I can put it. My sentence structure sucks.) It stands for Earned Run Average.It basically means the number of runs the opposing team earned multiplied by the number of innings in the game divided by the number innings pitched.
It's a pitching stat. The lower, the better.
If a pitcher has an ERA of say...2.36 or something, you know they're a good pitcher and it'll be hard to score runs off of him.
Hope I could help!

Earned run average. It's calculated by multiplying the number of earned runs allowed by a pitcher by 9, then dividing by the number of innings pitched.Example: If a pitcher gives up 5 earned runs in 7 innings, you multiply 5 by 9, then divide by 7 or 6.43. It's one way to measure a pitcher's effectiveness against opposing teams.
