In MLB, 1.22 by the 1876 St. Louis Brown Stockings of the National League.
Chris Carpenter of the St. Louis Cardinals led the National League in ERA in 2009 at 2.24.
In 1914 Dutch Leonard had a 0.96 ERA
Babe Ruth, pitching for the Boston Red Sox had the best ERA in 1916. It was 1.75. That's a low ERA for people not familiar with the game.
The winners of the National League and American League Rookie of the Year awards were announced on Monday, November 14, 2011. The unanimous National League winner was Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Craig Kimbrel, who set the major league record for rookies with 46 saves. Kimbrel posted a 4-3 record with a 2.10 ERA and 127 strikeouts in 77 innings. The American League choice was Tampa Bay Rays starter Jeremy Hellickson, who had a 13-10 record with a 2.95 ERA.
In MLB, no ... it is above average. In the 2011 MLB season, the average ERA in the National League was 4.16 and in the American League was 4.43. There have been seasons in MLB where the average ERA was 5+. In the AL, average ERA in 1996 was 5.00 and 1936 was 5.04. In the NL, average ERA was 5.33 in 1893. Those are the only three seasons in MLB where the average ERA was 5+. In other levels of baseball, 5.26 may be pretty good but not in MLB.
A high ERA would be considered bad. In the National League, an ERA of less than 3.50 would be considered very good. In the American League, an ERA of less than 4.00 would be considered very good.
Mariano Rivera's lowest ERA in a single season was 1.38 in 2005.
