Can a pitching ERA calculator be used for a season?

Yes. Add total earned runs and total IP, then calculate once from the totals.

Should you average game ERAs?

No. Use total earned runs and total IP instead of averaging individual ERA results.

The pitching ERA calculator helps calculate a pitcher's Earned Run Average from one outing, a tournament, or a full season.

Enter earned runs and IP from one appearance. Short relief outings can produce large swings because the workload is small.

For season ERA, add every earned run and every inning pitched first. Then calculate once from the totals.

Do not average individual game ERA values. A two-inning outing and an eight-inning outing should not carry equal weight.

Open the ERA calculator and enter the pitcher's total earned runs, IP, and extra outs.
