everything is based on 9 innings...for instance a pitcher who has a 3.00 era over a 9 inning game means he let up 3 runs in that game..so if a pitcher lets up 50 runs in 99that is 11 full games ...divide 50 runs by 11 games and you get 4.6 ...in baseball that is a 4.60 era...More Questions & Answers...
