A hurler is a slang term for a pitcher in baseball. ERA stands for Earned Run Average and is a statistic for pitchers that shows the number of 'earned' runs a pitcher allows for every nine innings. An earned run is a run that is scored without the help of an error or passed ball. One might think that the earned run average of a pitcher is similar to that of the batting average of a hitter.
In 1962, the NL ERA was 3.94 (6,345 earned runs in 14,490 innings pitched) and the AL ERA was 3.97 (6,402 earned runs in 14515 innings pitched) for an MLB average of 3.9553.

Pedro Martinez of the Boston Red Sox led MLB in ERA in 2003 with 2.22.
It is a matter of opinion who is the best or worst pitcher in baseball history. Also, there are so many players who pitched 1 game that it is difficult to judge who is definitely worst. Sorry!
ERA stands for a pitcher's earned run average.
A lower ERA is better in baseball because it reflects how many earned runs a pitcher allows on average per nine innings pitched. A lower ERA indicates better performance by the pitcher in preventing runs from scoring.
If you are a baseball pitcher, you want a low era. ERA stands for earned run average, meaning how many runs were scored on you. You want low one because no pitcher wants people to score on them.
Easily Kenshin Kawakami or Daiskue Matsuzaka
Not necessarily. A pitcher could have a decent ERA but give up several hits and walks an inning. An adequate way to evaluate a pitcher would be to look at his WHIP (walks and hits per inning pitched), along with ERA
4.55
ERA because it shows the statistics of the whole game. WHIP shows more of a pitchers clutch ability.

Ublado Jiemenz of the Colorado Rockies achieving an ERA of 0.70 and pitching the first no hitter in the history of the Rockies.
Arguably the best MLB pitcher of all time was Nolan Ryan. While he had thousands of walks, he also had a relatively low ERA and struck out over 5,000 batters.
